It’s a beautiful puzzle. The entropy story feels very concrete: the second law pushes systems toward disorder, giving a direction to processes. But the deeper picture—information, correlations, and how we record states—tells a similar story. If information about past microstates gets irretrievably dispersed, the past looks different from the future. So in my view, entropy and information loss are two sides of the same coin; one cannot fully exist without the other. The arrow of time may well be our inability to reconstruct the past from the scattered information that’s left behind.
