Four laws of thermodynamics are unavoidable, despite all mystical hopes.

0^th Law:  

When two systems are in thermodynamic equilibrium with a third one, they must be in equilibrium with each other.

As Maxwell expressed it: “All heat is of the same kind”.

1^st Law:   Energy is conserved.

The internal energy of a system changes as heat flows into it or out of it.

In other terms: producing work without energy input is impossible.

2^nd Law:  The entropy of an isolated system never decreases.

At equilibrium such system is at its maximal entropy.

In other terms: the disorder of an isolated system can only grow.

Or: the available energy (to be converted e.g. to produce work) of an isolated system is less than it internal energy.

Or: the maximal efficiency of a heat engine is η = 1-T_C/T_H , where T_C is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir and T_H of the hot one (in K).

Or in vulgar terms: a lot of stones thrown into the air has no chance to fall back as a cathedral.

3^rd Law:  The entropy of a pure substance is nil at T= 0 K.

In vulgar terms: maximal order is achieved when nothing goes on.
