Laws of Thermodynamics
The laws of thermodynamics describe how energy behaves in our universe. The **first law** states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The **second law** establishes that energy tends to disperse or spread out, leading to increased disorder over time (entropy). The **third law** indicates that as temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a perfect crystal approaches zero as well. Together, these laws explain energy conservation, the direction of natural processes, and the limits of lowering temperature in systems.
