Why do laws of thermodynamics "outweigh" any other law ever formulated? &quot;It is the only physical theory of universal content concerning which I am convinced that within the framework of the applicability of its basic concepts, it will never be overthrown.&quot; - Albert Einstein
&quot;Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics&quot;. - Seth Lloyd
“If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell’s equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.&quot; - Arthur Eddington
&quot;“Every question or effect has the right to exist if it does not contradict the second law of thermodynamics”. - Boris Pavlovich
“A good many times I have been present at gatherings of people who, by the standards of the traditional culture, are thought highly educated and who have with considerable gusto been expressing their incredulity at the illiteracy of scientists. Once or twice I have been provoked and have asked the company how many of them could describe the second law of thermodynamics. The response was cold: it was also negative. Yet I was asking something which is the scientific equivalent of: Have you read a work of Shakespeare's?” - C.P. Snow

I find these particularly interesting but there are many others which mark the supremacy of the laws of thermodynamics over any other law ever formulated by man.
I have just begun to learn the laws of thermodynamics and it is indeed very different and &quot;interesting&quot; but so was Newton's laws of motion, Faraday's laws, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Einstein's theory of relativity, then why are laws of thermodynamics considered so immutable and supreme to other laws. What is it that makes all these great people hold them as so impactful and perpetual and makes these laws outweigh others?
The laws never outweigh each other, nor do they have to. Newton's laws of motion, Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, Einstein's theory of relativity are all equally fundamental, in that they've never been overthrown within their respective frameworks of applicability. Sure, these frameworks have their limits: Newton fails at near-light speeds where Einstein takes over, Maxwell and Einstein fail at quantum limit. So what? Thermodynamics has its limits as well. If you don't believe this, then good luck trying to apply it to a single molecule.

If anything, the laws of thermodynamics are less fundamental, in that they are true only statistically, that is, with less precision than the rest. With relatively little effort, you can measure the mass of a body to six-digit precision. Can you do the same to its temperature?
