Famous Ilya Romanovich Quotes
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 idea of spontaneous generation of life in its present form is therefore highly improbable even to the scale of the billions of years during which prebotic evolution occurred.The irreversibility of time is the mechanism that brings order out of chaos.The real is only one realization of the possible.Entropy is the price of structure.The statistical probability that organic structures and the most precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be generated by accident, is zero.The world is richer than it is possible to express in any single language.We grow in direct proportion to the amount of chaos we can sustain and dissipateThe future is uncertain… but this uncertainty is at the very heart of human creativity.
