Thermodynamics defines the statistical behaviour of large numbers of entities, whose exact behavior is given by more specific laws. While the fundamental theoretical laws of physics are all time-reversible,<ref>[http://www.isepp.org/Pages/01-02%20Pages/Albert.html David Albert on ''Time and Chance'']</ref> experimentally the probability of '''real''' reversibility is low and the former state of system and surroundings is recovered only to certain extent (see: [[uncertainty principle]]). The reversibility of thermodynamics must be statistical in nature; that is, it must be merely highly unlikely, but not impossible, that a system will lower in entropy. In other words, time reversibility is fulfilled if the process happens the same way if time were to flow in reverse or the order of states in the process is reversed (the last state becomes the first and vice versa).
