Change: I call a ‘natural’ one. The term for it in universal use today, is ‘irreversible’.”OverviewAll natural processes are irreversible. The phenomenon of irreversibility results from the fact that if a thermodynamic system of interacting molecules is brought from one thermodynamic state to another, the
