Abstract Much verified information has been accumulated in recent years which shows that many fundamental concepts involving classical physics, thermodynamics, astrophysics and the general theory of relativity are strongly coupled together. This evidence is employed in this paper to explain the principles of the astrophysical school of thermodynamics; a growing revolutionary school which deduces thermodynamics, energy dissipation, and time unisotropies from the Newtonian and Einsteinian theories of gravitation and from the dynamics of radiation in ‘unsaturable’ (intercluster) space. Accordingly the density of radiation and the dynamics of (‘unsaturable’) outer space affect all processes in the galactic media, in the solar system, in the magnetosphere and on Earth. The origin of all observed irreversibilities in nature — of time, of all time anisotropics, of energy dissipation, of T-violations in ‘elementary particles’, of retarded potentials in electrodynamics, of the biological clocks, and of biological arrows of time — is one; it is the radiation unsaturability of space. But since this unsaturability and gravitation are interconnected we explain the origin of asymmetries, structure, and thermodynamics within the frameworks of the Newtonian and Einsteinian theories of gravitation. The theory presented here forms a part of a more general approach called gravitism, which unifies some other disciplinary studies in the natural sciences with a unified approach to gravitation and the theory of time.
