What did Prigogine study in addition to Dissipative Structures?
Irreversibility
Quantum Mechanics
Astronomy
Seismology
Answer
Irreversible processes are those that cannot be reversed in time. They are characterized by the increase in entropy, which is a measure of disorder. Prigogine studied irreversibility in the context of dissipative structures, which are complex systems that emerge from a state of disorder and maintain their organization through a continuous flow of energy.
