The third law of thermodynamics states that at absolute zero there must be no entropy. The particles have two kinds of motion, random motion due to the external energy of heat, and their own intrinsic motion. Thus, at absolute zero the random heat motion is obliterated and the intrinsic motion would thus be perfect...
