Abstract
A new formulation of the third law is proposed stating a universal connection between the lower limits of the energy and the entropy of any physical system. As consequences of the new theorem are derived the Nernst heat theorem, a theorem concerning the lowest energy state of mixtures, and the nondegeneracy of the energetic ground state of physical systems.Keywords
