... entropy of an isolated , or closed , system never diminishes . Every reversible change occurring in a closed system will leave its total entropy unaltered , for the gain of entropy in one part of the system will be balanced by its loss ...

... entropy of the universe is not increasing , for every local irreversi- ble process causes such an increase . What we can say is that we have no means for assessing change of entropy for the whole universe , since we can calculate such a ...

... entropy . The most thorough attempt to do this is due to Reichenbach ( 1956 ) . He accepted the reversibility objection as a decisive reason for rejecting any definition of time direction in terms of the entropy of an isolated system ...
