The brilliant Stephen Hawking recently intoned:

" I have experimental evidence that time travel is not possible. I gave a party for time-travelers, but I didn't send out the invitations until after the party. I sat there a long time, but no one came.".

So there you have it. The past disappears as fast--or faster--than the future appears in the present, and the only reason we don't think this is intuitively true is because we glue the pictures of the past to our little picture loving souls, so as to regain past glories and shun past pains. The past, therefore, is a bamboozle (although its lessons may not be, for sure).

So that means that the extropy of life force abstracting data from past calamity and bringing solutions, math, and other principles forward in time to solve the now-problems (however we may pose them) using the then-lessons--this conscious extropy, therefore is the dominant dynamic in the universe at any point of Now. I like this idea very much. I think, actually, it pleases me more than if someone HAD shown up at Hawking's party.
