  First, my disclaimer:  I am no expert on physics.  If you happen to think I
am wrong, then you are most likely right.  I'm just tossing an idea I read
about out onto the net to see what may become of it.  

  I personally like the theory that time is the forard-only path that denotes 
the increase of total entropy in the universe.  Non-stoppable and non-
reversible.  A simple answer (from my simple knowledge) for a simple question.

  You can't get a much more humble opinion than that. 

  Just my two pfennig worth.
