No, nothing ever can reach absolute zero. The reasons are scientific, but the lowest we've ever gone to is 450 picokelvin (that is 0.000000000045° kelvin).
The third law of http://www.answers.com/topic/thermodynamics is an axiom of nature regarding http://www.answers.com/topic/entropy and the impossibility of reaching http://www.answers.com/topic/absolute-zero of http://www.answers.com/topic/temperature.

∙ 9y agoAbsolute zero is the temperature at which all atomic motion stops. This means that there is no kinetic energy. All matter will always possess the zero-point energy of its ground state, which means that absolute zero is unreachable by current means.

∙ 13y agoAbsolute Zero has not been reached by humans. We've been one millionth of a degree away from absolute zero. Until the technology develops to the point that energy is not imparted to the measured phenomenon, absolute zero will be impossible for humans to detect. However, when it happens, it should be universe shattering.

∙ 15y agoNo, because the temperature called Absolute Zero or Zero Kelvin is a theoretical point. According to the laws of thermodynamics, you can get infinitesimally close to it, but you can never actually reach ZeroK.

∙ 11y agoAbsolute zero is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve at the moment. As something gets colder, particles slow down.
If you cool something to be EXTREMELY COLD, there is still heat AROUND it that eventually gets the particles moving again.

∙ 11y agoNO. It is impossible to ever reach absolute zero. Some scientists have come within a small fraction of absolute zero, but that is one of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, we can never reach absolute zero.

Has absolute zero temperature ever been reached?
It can't be reached. However, scientists have managed to approach absolute zero within less than one microkelvin.
Is the absolute zero temperature commonly reached at the earths poles?
Nope, never, absolute zero cannot be reached by artificial or natural means.
What is meant by the absolute zero of temperature?
Absolute zero is achieved when the atoms in a substance stop moving completely. At -273.15C or -459.67F. True absolute zero cannot be reached, but it can be approached to within a few millionths of a degree.
Where on earth can you find absolute zero?
Neptune (Pluto was, but it is not a planet anymore. But, absolute zero is unreachable. Absolute zero is the temperature it would be if there was no matter. And since matter is everything, absolute zero is abolutly unreachable.
Is it true absolute zero is a temperature commonly reached at the earth's poles?
well no and yes did u here that from friends

Nope, never, absolute zero cannot be reached by artificial or natural means.
Is absolute zero is a temperature commonly reached at the earths poles?
Nope, never, absolute zero cannot be reached by artificial or natural means.
Does motion ever stop?
Only at absolute zero temperature, but this temperature can only be approached as a limit, never reached. So your answer is no.
Who was the first person to try to reach ablolute zero?
Do you mean 'reached the concept of absolute zero'? I ask this because I was always told that you cannot reach absolute zero, because absolute zero is the the lowest temperature in the universe. It is like trying to go faster than the speed of light. It hasn't been reached, yet.

What are facts about absolute zero?
it is zero on the kelvin scale, there is absolutely no particle movement, and it has never been reached
Is absolute zero a temperature commonly reached at the earth's poles?
No, absolute zero is not possible to achieve. At absolute zero, a molecule would have no kinetic energy, therefore would be stationary. Quantum mechanics shows that this is impossible, as there is always fluctuations in kinetic energy. The earth's poles are way above absolute zero. Particles in space around around 2 Kelvin, which is extremely cold. The lowest temperature ever achieved on Earth was done in a laboratory with sodium atoms, which were cooled to just under 500pK.
Will Canada ever reach absolute zero?
Many countless trillions and trillions of trillions of years will pass before Canada gets close to absolute zero, and this will probably only happen in the event that theories of an ever-expanding universe are true. Absolute zero is NOT the zero degrees that we read on any temperature system of practical use. It is difficult to produce this temperature in a laboratory, and it really cannot be reached in an absolute sense, although we can come close enough to observe the Bose-Einstein Condensate [another topic altogether]. I believe it is correct to say that nothing on earth, from the beginning of its formation to the present, has ever reached absolute zero naturally. Absolute zero is impossible everywhere unless an extremely extreme ice age happens. When absolute zero happens no movement is possible. Canada is not that cold, absolute zero is between -270 and -280 C, but I can't remember the exact temperature. Southern Canada rarely gets below -30 C, none of Canada is ever colder than (and doesn't reach) -50 C, but that is only in the very northern parts.
What happens to a real gas (nitrogen gas) as it cools from room temp to 0 K absolute zero Would you expect it to disappear when it reached absolute zero?
- Nitrogen gas become a solid.- Absolute zero is intangible.
Do molecules disappear at absolute zero?
No. They are as frozen still as they can ever be. It is said to be scientifically impossible to actually reach absolute zero.
Can space reach absolute zero?
NO, this is impossible. 0 K, or -273 *C can never be reached. In deep space, it can be 0.1 K or so, which is really cold. Heat 'spreads' from a hotter place to a colder, so if there were ever a place with absolute zero, some heat would immediately go there. Then, that point would probably reach a point possibly just above absolute zero.
