laws of thermodynamics

Explain how these apply:

*Zeroth: You must play the game.

*First: You can't win.

*Second: You can only break even at absolute zero.

*Third: You can't reach absolute zero.

Apply what?  The Laws of Thermodymanics
Apply to what?  Life
I can't use these things together.

You mean cellular organisms?  Biological processes, being in the universe, follow the laws of thermodynamics.  You have to keep feeding the processes energy to sustain them, as they are not analogous to perpetual motion machines.

I think he means how do they apply to entropy, energy &c

That's what the laws of thermodynamics are already about though.  That's like asking how does a list of groceries apply to groceries.

    * The zeroth law of thermodynamics allows the assignment of a unique temperature to systems which are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

    * The first law of thermodynamics mandates conservation of energy and states in particular that the flow of heat is a form of energy transfer.

    * The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated macroscopic system never decreases, or, equivalently, that perpetual motion machines are impossible.

    * The third law of thermodynamics concerns the entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero temperature, and implies that it is impossible to cool a system to exactly absolute zero.

dont get how the zeroeth applies
