Abstract

The author of this paper had worked closely with Ilya Prigogine and had written many joint papers with him on the problem of broken time reversal symmetry. From his perspective, the author will explain the historical evolution of Prigogine's understanding of the dynamical origin of irreversibility based on fundamental laws of physics in thermodynamic systems.
