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.

While there is matter in the universe it will not be able to reach absolute zero


Is space considered absolute zero since nothing can live in it?

No, the temprature in space is roughly -270°C whereas Absolute zero would be −273.15°C. At the point of Absolute zero molecules, themselves, stop moving.It's close, but not absolute.


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.


Did they reach absolute zero on Pluto?

Although very cold, Pluto is still a few degrees off absolute zero. Zero kelvin is absolute zero, Plutos minimum reaches around 33 kelvin, 33 degrees above absolute zero.


How do you use the word absolute zero in a sentence?

Scientists hypothesize that the substance could reach the temperature of absolute zero. There were wrong. Absolute zero is the state of matter when none of its particles are moving.

Close to absolute zero.


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.


Which law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to reach absolute zero?

An object can never reach absolute zero in kinetic terms because there is never a total lack of kinetic energy, molecules are always moving.
