Time seems to have a direction. As Omar Khyayam wrote

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it

What gives direction to time? I clarify this question and discuss some proposed answers.
