Summary
Absolute zero is a theoretical minimum temperature of matter. Even reaching absolute zero theoretically is impossible as according to quantum physic's uncertainty principle, atoms cannot be at a fixed place without any momentum at all. The atoms have to be wiggling very slightly and cannot reach the zero point of energy. Matter can only be cooled infinitely towards absolute zero but cannot ever reach it.
Though reaching absolute zero is impossible to obtain, the quest to lower temperature of matter continues. The exploration of the depths of temperature have led to many intriguing discoveries and things we did not know about matter before. The discoveries of super-conductivity, Bose-Einstein condensates and many other discoveries could not have been found without man's attempt to reach the impossible. It was said in the past that advancement in technology was caused by man mastering heat but the future may be led by man mastering the cold.
