Ted Chiang
“Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully.”
Ted Chiang, The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate

Ted Chiang
“The difference is that the heat energy we radiate is a high-entropy form of energy, meaning it’s disordered. The chemical energy we absorb is a low-entropy form of energy, meaning it’s ordered. In effect, we are consuming order and generating disorder; we live by increasing the disorder of the universe. It’s only because the universe started in a highly ordered state that we are able to exist at all.”
Ted Chiang, Exhalation
