CHAPTER XIX
CONCLUSION
The reversibility theory is presented here, as I have
said before, as a possibility to be considered. It being a
mere hypothesis, I have considered it fair to present not
only the hypothesis itself and the arguments for it, but
also the arguments against the hypothesis. I may also
state that I cannot supply any satisfactory answer to most
of the objections stated in Chapter XVIII.
Having thus presented a general theory of the
phenomena of the universe, I will now leave the reader to
compare for himself the reversibility theory with the
prevailing theory of the second law of thermodynamics,
and weigh the various arguments for and against each,
as they have been here presented.
