The statistical explanation of which law supports the direction of time?

  • Ohm's law

  • Boyle's law

  • Second law of thermodynamics

  • Newton's first law

Answer

The direction of time is supported by the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease. This means that disorder always increases over time in a closed system. As time passes, systems tend to become more random and disorganized.
