If a process is irreversible it means information was lost. And from the article, "All complex natural processes are irreversible".
- jafaku 13y agoNowhere in there it says that information was lost. It just says that to reverse the process it requires introducing energy to the system and that the impossibility resides in that the changes occurred in an "not easily predictable". So it's a practical impossibility, not theoretical. The Universe doesn't lose information. The one thing that made physicists believe for a moment that it did, was something about blackholes, but it was then proven to be wrong.
