The Third Law of Thermodynamics states that absolute zero cannot be reached. This law asserts that as a system approaches absolute zero, its entropy approaches a minimum value but never reaches zero.
Nope, never, absolute zero cannot be reached by artificial or natural means.
The Third Law of Thermodynamics states that absolute zero, which is the lowest possible temperature, cannot be reached. This law asserts that as a system approaches absolute zero, its entropy also approaches a minimum value. This implies that it would require an infinite amount of energy to cool a system down to absolute zero, making it unattainable in practice.
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.
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.
At absolute zero, particles have minimum kinetic energy and cannot decrease further. Charles's Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of gas is directly proportional to its temperature. However, at absolute zero, particles have stopped moving and cannot further decrease in volume to obey Charles's Law.

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.

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.
it is zero on the kelvin scale, there is absolutely no particle movement, and it has never been reached
You cannot lower the temperature if you are at absolute zero.
Yes, scientists have successfully reached temperatures very close to absolute zero using techniques such as laser cooling and magnetic cooling. However, reaching exactly absolute zero, which is -273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 Kelvin, is theoretically impossible due to the third law of thermodynamics.
It is called "absolute zero", but it is theoretical - while it can be approached very, very closely, it cannot actually be reached.
