The Poincaré recurrence theorem is a fundamental result in the field of dynamical systems and ergodic theory, named after the French mathematician Henri Poincaré. The theorem essentially states that in a closed system where the dynamics are governed by deterministic laws and the system is confined to a finite volume, a system will eventually return to a state very close to its initial conditions after a sufficient amount of time.
