The third law of thermodynamics is sometimes stated as follows, regarding

The entropy of a perfect crystal, at absolute zero kelvin, is exactly

At zero kelvin the system must be in a state with the minimum possible

There are other ways, however, to put his ideas to the test. How do we know
Einstein had it right? One experiment in the 1970s provided some pretty
strong evidence:
Atomic clocks are extremely accurate clocks that can measure tiny amounts of

Einstein's ideas. One atomic clock was set up on the ground, while another
