I mentioned certain specific irreversible processes. You might say, supposedly irreversible. How do you deal with those? Or do you still have to think about it?
1. Fuel gets used up, as hydrogen gets converted to helium and metals.
2. Dying stars leave a residue that can't get recycled into new stars.
3. There is lots of observational evidence that some billions of years ago, the Universe was different from now.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
