Isn't the Second Law basically statistical? And wasn't it spelled out before anybody mentioned "spacetime"?
There's this line about all the water molecules in a glass "randomly" jumping upward at the same time, leaving the glass empty. As far as I'm aware, this is completely possible; it's just so incredibly unlikely that it's never been observed.
If the Arrow Of Time is a result of the Second Law, maybe a similar ultra-unlikely circumstance could result in time going backwards. At any rate, I'm not aware of anything that derives the Arrow Of Time from any fundamental property of spacetime.
