Regarding the third law, read "The Emperor New Mind" from Roger Penrose, there the three laws of thermodynamics are related with the initial conditions of the antisymmetric part of the Riemann tensor (related with the curvature of space-time) thus giving a cosmological meaning to those three laws...
