If I hit the brakes at 60 and let loose at 5, I'm not going in reverse, that's not what relativity means..hehehehe but it would be awesome if it did, so I say run with it.
Trouble with the analogy is that entropy is never "missing", might be better expressed as a situation in which there is -less determinism- in one place, relative to another, not none (not that I would actually agree that this is the case, just trying to help). Will remains chained, though, so that's alot of "what ifs" to end up with no appreciable change.
Using the definition of entropy as "lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder," it can be demonstrated that there can be areas within an entropic system in which there is a surfeit of order and predictability, and a gradual increase of order. That's more than simply slamming on the brakes - it's a bullet being fired backwards from the car.
