What are you talking about?

Entropy doesn't tell us that at all. Entropy tells us how much data is encodes between two ways of describing a value. It has nothing to do with time at all.

You're confusing two different perspectives on entropy without understanding either properly. In physics, which is what's being discussed, entropy is certainly closely related to time.
