Hmm …

… Why Does Time Go Forward Instead of Backward?

It has been a long time since I read anything about this, but I seem to recall that inorganic chemistry is governed by the second law of thermodynamics in a way that leads to states of molecular symmetry, but that organic chemistry — the chemistry of the carbon compounds — is characterized by a tendency toward molecular asymmetry. Whether I have this right, and whether it has any bearing on time's direction, that I don't know.
