The *zeroth law* (formulated after the first three) states:\n\n> **If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.**  \n\nThis law justifies the very concept of temperature and allows us to use thermometers.\n\n---\n\n#### Why they matter\n\n- **First law** tells you *how much* energy is available.  \n- **Second law** tells you *how* that energy can be used (or not) and why real engines are never 100 % efficient.  \n- **Third law** sets the ultimate low‑temperature limit and provides a baseline for measuring entropy.  \n\nTogether, they form the backbone of everything from power‑plant design to the behavior of stars, refrigerators, biological metabolism, and even information theory.","function_call":null,"reasoning":"The user asks: \"What are the three laws of thermodynamics?\" Actually there are four laws (zeroth, first, second, third).
