0K is unreachable. Also, due to quantum uncertainty there's still
motion even at 0K.
I thought they taught us all that 0K was the point at which all molecular motion stopped. Is there such a point then if it is not 0K?
I could be a wag and also say 'Yes, at TL-8... but perhaps not at TL-12....' but that's not totally satisfying so I won't.
I do believe we have reached fractions of a Kelvin above 0K so that might be pretty close.
Although, one would think temperatures like that of freezing points used to store human eggs might be more viable as pointed out earlier in this discussion.
