where does time go when it's over?
Conversation
There is no such thing as time. It's a circle with 12 numbers on it and two little arms that go round and round and people say "It's 6:30" or something like that but it's all contrived and made up.

then why do things disintegrate and fall apart? is it that time is only for "things"? (to make old)

If I had to answer in one word I would say "entropy."
If I had to answer in five words I would say "the second law of thermodynamics."
I don't understand those concepts well enough to say much more. Good question though.
More ways for things to things to become messy than neat.

I messed up the last sentence. **More ways for things to become messy than neat.**
The probability of getting one of the messier states of affairs exceeds that of getting one of the few neater, tidier, better-ordered states unless new energy enters the system.

I understood when you repeated "things" that it was a typo but the gist of the sentence still carried through.
Yes, things tend to break down rather than fix themselves.

Energy input into a system can increase or decrease entropy, depending on what? Intent? We can also cause unintended consequences, so I don't know.
