• In scientific studies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dynamical systems one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most intriguingproblems is <strong>the</strong> question <strong>of</strong> reversibility, <strong>or</strong> strictly speaking <strong>the</strong>problem <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> time arrow, which is related to <strong>the</strong> statistical law <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong>rmodynamical entropy.This means that <strong>the</strong> present moment is always separated from <strong>the</strong>future <strong>and</strong> naturally from <strong>the</strong> past; consequently <strong>the</strong> w<strong>or</strong>ld is hist<strong>or</strong>ical.Basically, we all know that it is not possible to go back into <strong>the</strong> past.In particular, our biological clock is a special case <strong>of</strong> a <strong>the</strong>rmodynamicclock. Unf<strong>or</strong>tunately, when <strong>the</strong> entropy achieves its maximum everycomplex <strong>or</strong>ganism will die. Theref<strong>or</strong>e, <strong>the</strong> death is not only a privatetragic event, but it could be regarded as a participation in <strong>the</strong> cosmicstructure.SRC, Warsaw, 3 October 2013 29
