编辑- 鉴于我对时间概念的兴趣，我的注意力很自然地集中在第二个原则上，因为我从一开始就觉得它将在物理世界演化的描述中引入一个新的、意想不到的元素。毫无疑问，玻尔兹曼和普朗克等杰出物理学家在我面前也会有同样的印象。我科学生涯的很大一部分将致力于阐明第二原理的宏观和微观方面，以便将其有效性扩展到新的情况以及理论物理学的其他基本方法，例如经典和物理学和量子动力学。
- Given my interest in the concept of time, it was only natural that my attention was focused on the second principle, as I felt from the start that it would introduce a new, unexpected element into the description of physical world evolution. No doubt it was the same impression illustrious physicists such as Boltzmann and Planck would have felt before me. A huge part of my scientific career would then be devoted to the elucidation of macroscopic as well as microscopic aspects of the second principle, in order to extend its validity to new situations, and to the other fundamental approaches of theoretical physics, such as classical and quantum dynamics.
