The arrow of time does not reverse in a big crunch scenario.

Sam It falls under Newton's second law that time can not go backwards
Can I throw in entropy,and symmetry in as well? Spacetime is always
expanding It goes with my convex space theory. Still time is completly
"intuitive" Good thing we are not moving close to c O ya TreBert

Black holes have to move light backwards if emited outward. But of
course light has a constant speed of C always in empty space.

I hate to break this to you, Bertreb, but Newton's second law
does not restrict the direction of time.

F = dp/dt

Please, NO!!
A donkey might have a backside, but not a particle. Any movement is
forward - by definition.
