That is entropy. Atoms decay. That's why we die :).

We don't die because atoms decay, and we only live by increasing entropy, not the other way around

Isn't decay part of entropy?

Your right about us not deing of decay, but I don't get what you mean by living by increasing entropy. Doesnt an increase in entropy mean more "time" has gone by? So, it would mean that you aged more and closer to death?

things decay over time so if there is entropy there is time.

So without using a dictionary or Google, how would you define time, in your own words?

an invisible construct that measures the existence of all things . (best reasonable definition i can come up with)

however i always looked at time as a predator, eventually it will catch up with you.

I see. Well to me entropy and time are the same thing :).

entropy deals with thermodynamics but i guess they have a relationship in a sense

Yeah because in order for transfer of energy time has to occur.

then time does exist
