You are watching a tape backwards. You see the end first. You can even watch the tape in 10x speed. Or, better yet, view the entire tape at once as a series of still photos and sounds on a single panel. The people on the tape cannot do this. Each following moment is a surprise to them right up to the end, but not to you. Because you are outside the tape. You are the author or the audience. You are not limited by five senses to experience only what is revealed moment by moment. You have a different point of references and are capable of vastly greater senses. While watching the tape, you are not restricted by the artificial construct we call "time". You do not have to "remember" anything. The word has no meaning to you as you can experience what those on the tape consider a memory as it happened at any point you wish. Entropy has a purpose -- but only inside the tape. To borrow from Stephen King, entropy is the langolier.

“You are watching a tape backwards.”

Note To Self:

Send regrets to so_real as you won’t be attending his “Movie Night Party.”

So the second law of thermodynamics is a hoax?
