We can remember yesterday, but not tomorrow; we can turn an egg into an omelet, but can\u2019t turn an omelet into an egg. That\u2019s the arrow of time, which is consistent throughout the observable universe. The arrow can be explained by assuming that the very early universe was extremely orderly, and disorder has been increasing ever since. But why did the universe start out so orderly? I will talk about the nature of time, the origin of entropy, and how what happened before the Big Bang may be responsible for the arrow of time we observe today.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EFrontiers in Science Public Lecture\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Sean Carroll, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)"}],"uid":"28004","created_gmt":"2016-03-25 09:37:35","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:16:11","author":"Dione Morton","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-04-11T20:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-04-11T21:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-04-11T21:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-04-12 00:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-04-12 01:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-04-12 01:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"519281":{"id":"519281","type":"image","title":"Prof.Sean Carroll","body":null,"created":"1459479600","gmt_created":"2016-04-01 03:00:00","changed":"1475895284","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:54:44","alt":"Prof.Sean Carroll","file":{"fid":"206020","name":"sean_carroll_4_11_16.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/sean_carroll_4_11_16_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/sean_carroll_4_11_16_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":260776,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/sean_carroll_4_11_16_0.jpg?itok=NYyl2B8W"}}},"media_ids":["519281"],"groups":[{"id":"126011","name":"School of Physics"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"60121","name":"frontiers in science"},{"id":"166937","name":"School of Physics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDione Morton\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:dione.morton@physics.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Edione.morton@physics.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
