Is the spontaneity of chemical reactions related to time travel?

The article explores the relationship between the spontaneity of chemical reactions and time travel, drawing parallels between the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the irreversible nature of chemical transformations. By discussing entropy, Gibbs free energy, and chemical potential, the text delves into the thermodynamic principles that govern the direction of reactions and the impossibility of time travel into the past. Through a detailed analysis of Gibbs free energy changes and the equilibrium state of reactions, the article provides a scientific perspective on the connection between chemistry and the laws of physics, using Star Trek references to illustrate complex concepts.
