When we looked into that mirror we thought was perfect, science, by cooling atoms to a temperature close to absolute zero and aligning their magnetic spins, discovered that nature has a preferred side, revealing that we might be living in a sort of mirror universe where the rules of symmetry also conceal the mystery of time. Furthermore, this fascinating disorder that we call chaos and entropy conceals a great secret, since a highly disorganised state actually corresponds to an immense amount of information, as understood by image compression algorithms in computers, where a simple, orderly drawing is stored in a tiny file, whereas a chaotic, noise-filled photograph requires a huge amount of space because every tiny, unpredictable detail is a unique piece of information that cannot be reduced. The future is pure chaos!
