ON the assumptions that space-time is finite spatially but not temporally (apart from supernatural events such as creation), and that atoms and radiation are mutually convertible, Sir James Jeans (NATURE, 122, p. 689; 1928) arrives at the conclusion that the universe is progressing towards a final state of maximum entropy from which no return is possible. While such a state has a maximum a priori probability, it does not follow that it is final.
