In far from equilibrium conditions, the concept of probability that underlies Boltzmann's order principle is no longer valid if the structures we observe do not correspond to a maximum of complexions — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
The idea of spontaneous generation of life in its present form is therefore highly improbable even to the scale of the billions of years… — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
“The understanding of complexity and the use of the creativity of nature, the continuation of the work of nature are the grand challenges for… — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
Now we see evolutionary trends in a variety of areas ranging from atomic and molecular physics through fluid mechanics, chemistry and biology to large… — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
The future is uncertain... but this uncertainty is at the very heart of human creativity. — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
The irreversibility of time is the mechanism that brings order out of chaos. — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image

The statistical probability that organic structures and the most precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be generated by accident, is zero. — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
We grow in direct proportion to the amount of chaos we can sustain and dissipate — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
The more we know about our universe, the more difficult it becomes to believe in determinism. — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
