This article ends disappointingly in a series of mental exercises. The "LCD" involved is the 8-shape commonly used in LCDs to allow any digit to be displayed. There is no discussion about how light traversing a liquid crystal display illuminates time's arrow, nor the change undergone when a liquid crystal is electrified.
