上世纪80年代中期,上海译文出版社出版了一大批介绍西方学术思潮的著作,称“西方当代学术思潮”丛书。其中第一辑里,有一本书,叫《熵:一种新的世界观》。 熵是什么? 我们知道,有个物理命题叫物质不灭,认为物质是不会灭失的,它只是转换了存在的形式。例如物质以纸的形式存在,经过火烧,纸变成了灰,这时物质又以灰的形式存在。从纸到灰,物质的能量没有变化。
In the mid 80s of last century, Shanghai Translation Publishing House published a large number of books introducing the western academic trend of thought, saying that “Western Contemporary Academic Trends” series. One of the first series, there is a book, called “entropy: a new worldview.” What does entropy mean? We know that there is a physical proposition that the matter is immortalized, that the matter is not lost, it merely transforms the existing form. For example, the material exists in the form of paper, after burning, the paper becomes gray, then the material exists in the form of ash. From paper to ash, the energy of matter has not changed.
