Absolute zero is still out of reach of both modern theory and

you can't even get there to find out.
It's controversial, but has nothing much to do with the temperature
"absolute zero". It refers to energy that is theoretically present even in
"empty" space, containing no matter or fields.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_point. Even better, ask physicist
Dave Van Domelen to comment.
