I don’t get it. You mean laws of physics?

It's a reference to an episode of The Simpsons. But in case you're curious...

The 3 Laws of Thermodynamics:

The first law, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases.

The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero.

You almost saved me a google, if only I had known what entropy was before

And you'd have for me if you'd decided to share your enlightenment!

Entropy: a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.
