As much as we want time symmetry, we still live in an expanding universe. So we have at least some asymmetry.


Time symmetry applies to the physical laws governing the universe, not the distribution of mass in it.

For a simpler example look at Newton's 3 laws. They have time symmetry but still allow for things to move around!


It also doesn't apply to the structure of space-time. Which is not a situation that Newton's laws can deal with.
