Ilya Prigogine

1917–2003

Ilya Prigogine (1917–2003) was a Belgian physical chemist and Nobel laureate (1977) known for his work on dissipative structures, complex systems, and irreversibility. He challenged the classical view of time as an illusion, arguing that time is fundamental and that nonequilibrium processes drive order and creativity in nature.
