The total amount of energy in the universe is constant, so energy can’t be created or destroyed, just change shape
First Law of Thermodynamics
The entropy of the universe is constantly increasing
Second Law of Thermodynamics
The entropy of a perfect crystalline substance is zero at absolute zero
Third Law of Thermodynamics
