So if we have all the pieces of the puzzle, we can remake the puzzle even if we take some of those pieces to another side of the Earth. If we can transport those pieces back, that allows us to remake the puzzle. But that is possible only if those pieces are not destroyed.  Reductionism can explain the whole universe. The idea in this thing is this: all systems have a limited number of particles, or some other actors.

So theoretically, we can remake and reorder those particles into the same form and order that they were before the process started, without depending on the size of the system. The requirement is that the system is stable. If we think of a situation, a tornado takes our ...
