The '''laws of thermodynamics''' form a basis for the study of [[thermodynamics]]. There are four laws of very general validity, and as such they do not depend on the details of the interactions or the systems being studied. Hence, they can be applied to systems about which one knows nothing other than the balance of energy and matter transfer. Examples of this include [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]]'s prediction of [[spontaneous emission]] around the turn of the [[20th century]] and current research into the thermodynamics of [[black hole]]s. | The '''laws of thermodynamics''' form a basis for the study of [[thermodynamics]].
