As a system asymptotically approaches absolute zero of temperature all processes virtually cease and the entropy of the system asymptotically approaches a minimum value; also stated as: "the entropy of all systems and of all states of a system is zero at absolute zero" or, equivalently: "it is impossible to reach the absolute zero of temperature by any finite number of processes."
