Abstract
'Because the past has past and the future has yet to come' would be the simple answer. In this essay I try to go the round path with Carl Friedrich von Weizäcker that takes the structure of time - past, present, future - as necessary precondition for scientific experience to be possible and so for physics. Only from that precondition the growth of entropy can be shown. Given the physics (entropy grow) von Weizsäcker then shows, that the time structure we experience is realized in nature can be derived from the second law of thermodynamic. I want to show, that an additional element is needed: there must exist a mechanism of information grow, that makes the future unknown from the present. This is possible without contradicting the second law of thermodynamic. I further ask whether scientific experience can be derived from apriori knowledge and whether there is a being beyond physics.
