  The zeroth law of thermodynamics
The zeroth law of thermodynamics is a statement concerning systems in thermal equilibrium.
If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
While the zeroth law may seem like a trivial statement, it is frequently used in proofs of thermodynamic theorems.

The zeroth item is the initial item of a sequence, if that sequence is numbered beginning from zero rather than one.
In computer science, zero is the smallest natural number, and the base case for many kinds of numerical recursion.
A common use of zeroth outside computing is in the name of the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics, a law that was formulated after the first, second and third laws.

 Zeroth law of thermodynamics   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The zeroth law of thermodynamics is the law which states that thermal equilibrium is transitive.
The zeroth law states that this relation is transitive, which means that whenever system A is in thermal equilibrium with B, and A is in thermal equilibrium with system C, then B and C are also in thermal equilibrium.
It is often claimed, for instance by Max Planck in his influential textbook on thermodynamics, that this law proves that we can define a temperature function, or more informally, that we can 'construct a thermometer'.

 NICMOS Data Handbook v6.0
For very bright sources, the amount of signal in the zeroth read can be large enough to lead to inaccurate linearity corrections, as well as the failure to detect saturation conditions, in the NLINCORR calibration step, because the linearity correction and saturation checking both depend on the absolute signal level accumulated in a pixel.
The ZSIGCORR step estimates the amount of signal in the zeroth read by first measuring the amount of signal that arrived in each pixel between the zeroth and first reads, and then scaling that signal to the effective exposure time of the zeroth read (nominally 0.203 seconds).
The estimated zeroth read signal is then passed, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, to the NLINCORR step, so that it can account for that signal when applying linearity corrections and saturation checking on the zeroth-read subtracted images with which it works.

 The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Therefore the zeroth law can be viewed as a definition of thermal interactions, which is already included in the theory of diathermal walls.
The zeroth law is a consequence of the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

 BBC - h2g2 - The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
The Zeroth Law states "If object A is in thermal equilibrium with object B, and object B is in thermal equilibrium with object C, then object C is also in thermal equilibrium with object A." This Law allows, amongst other things, the creation and calibration of thermometers.
Only when people tried to make thermodynamics systematically logical did people realize that the Zeroth Law was a necessary fundamental principle on which the rest of thermodynamics was based.
Now, what this means in terms of the zeroth law is that if two objects are placed in thermal equilibrium (for example two pieces of metal touching) and then a third is brought up to touch the second, when it reaches equilibrium with the second it will automatically be in equilibrium with the first.

 Thermodynamic Equilibrium
The zeroth law of thermodynamics begins with a simple definition of thermodynamic equilibrium.
It is observed that some property of an object, like the pressure in a volume of gas, the length of a metal rod, or the electrical conductivity of a wire, can change when the object is heated or cooled.
The zeroth law of thermodynamics is an observation.

Whether one buys into the mystery of Old Testament gospel or not, it is almost universally acknowledged that the moral core of the biblical Ten Commandments is a useful model for secular law.
These are the tools which allow us to obey the zeroth commandment of God by leaving the earth, which we now know to be only one of many planets in God's creation.
Augustine argues that the tribulations of Rome began before the coming of Christ, and that, far from preserving Rome from harm, the gods it worshipped plunged Roman society into a moral corruption from which it could not recover.

Thus, his calculating machines "have the good of humanity at heart through the overwhelming force of the First Law of Robotics" (emphasis added).
In 1985 he developed this idea further by postulating a "zeroth" law that placed humanity's interests above those of any individual while retaining a high value on individual human life.

 BioWare - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - G0-T0: zeroth law
The zeroth law being A robot may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
The whole idea behind the zeroth law is it allows robots to break the 1st law which is they can't harm humans or through inaction allow a human to come to harm.
If a droid is not to let the republic be harmed or through in action let it come to harm then the droid can rationalise that letting a certain person live would be harmful to the republic.

 Math Forum - Ask Dr. Math
It just seems so odd to me that zero, the very center of our entire concept of mathematics (something long held to be the purest, most perfect thing in existence) should have such gaping flaws.
Since x^0 = 1 for any nonzero x, only 1 could possibly have a zeroth root, but, again, which x are we going to use?
This means that the zeroth root of 1 is again indeterminate.

My point was that to think about the thing in a way that is consistent with the tangible world I am forced to treat the concept of zero as something other than zero.

 Wings of the HETGS LRF, 7/13/00
A starting point to understand the LRF is to understand the 1-D projection of the zeroth-order (undispersed) image.
There are, however, differences between zeroth and dispersed orders, for example the HETGS the zeroth-order image is created by all four HRMA shells whereas the MEG and HEG (dispersed) images are created by the combination of shells 1+3 (or 4+6) only.
Another slight difference is that the 1-D projections for the MEG and HEG spectra are along their dispersion axes which are at roughly +/- 5 degrees to the mean ACIS-S CHIPX axis.
