If by "mythology" you mean currently accepted physics, then I remind you that your point at #22 specifically allowed for that. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states: "The total entropy of any thermodynamically isolated system tends to increase over time, approaching a maximum value".

Now if you want to say that that statement is wrong, that's fine. But you specifically said that "even in physics" the directionality of time is irrelevant. According to the currently accepted understanding of physics, your statement is false, unless you can cite an authority in physics that says that that law I quoted is no longer considered valid.

Got pressure, volume, temperature in gases. Got heat and temperature in entropy. The statement cited is faulty.
