Letter: Hot-headed

Published 14 May 2014

From Perry Bebbington

Lawrence D’Oliveiro suggests in his letter that memory is a result of increasing entropy (12 April, p 33). I am known by my friends as someone with a poor memory, although I can’t remember why.

Could it be that in my head entropy is decreasing?
