The future is uncertain... but this uncertainty is at the very heart of human creativity.

Now we see evolutionary trends in a variety of areas ranging from atomic and molecular physics through fluid mechanics, chemistry and biology to large scale systems of relevance in environmental and economic sciences

The irreversibility of time is the mechanism that brings order out of chaos.

The more we know about our universe, the more difficult it becomes to believe in determinism.

The future is uncertain... but this uncertainty is at the very heart of human creativity.

The statistical probability that organic structures and the most precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be generated by accident, is zero.

(1) irreversible processes are as real as reversible ones. (2) irreversible processes play a fundamental constructive role in the physical world. (3) irreversibility is deeply rooted in dynamics.
