- yters 7y agoSure, there is always a possibility of return, at least on a 2d plane (not 3d), but still mathematics will have to be revoked to favor low probability macrostates. Certainly an ambituous goal!
- antepodius 7y agoThat's not what that theorem says. It says that there's a guarantee of return, eventually.
- chithanh 7y agoI think you might be confusing this with the 2D/3D random walk in a discrete infinite space? Poincaré recurrence is about exhausting the phase space in (discrete or continuous) bounded systems.
