Nernst Heat Theorem 0
The Nernst Heat Theorem, also known as the Third Law of Thermodynamics, states that as the temperature of a system approaches absolute zero, the entropy change associated with any isothermal process approaches zero. This implies that it is impossible to reach absolute zero in a finite number of steps, as the entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is exactly zero, providing a fundamental limit to cooling processes.
