The Third Law of Thermodynamics states:
---As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a constant minimum---
It is impossible to reduce the temperature of a system to absolute zero in any finite number of operations, since the amount of potential work which could be done approaches a constant maximum value. Therefore it is not possible to predict how energy will change from one form to another since every change becomes more potentially possible.
Time can only have meaning so long as one form of energy is trapped in cyclical motion. In a completely random system, there is no repetitive event to define as Time=0 to begin a measurement.
