Interesting!
:::Actually the uncertainty principle doesn't need to be invoked. Since the Cosmic Background Radiation has an observed temperature of around 3 Kelvins any object in the currently observable universe would be at least that warm since it would be bathed in microwave radiation. Because the universe is filled with some degree of energy everywhere absolute zero is impossible. Even the best cooling system would heat a cooled object via electro-magnetic radiation to a point above 0 Kelvin. --[[User:WOVcenter|WOVcenter]] 02:37, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

::::Huh, very interesting! Do you happen to have sites where this is discussed/explained? It would make a good addition to the article, but I wouldn't know where to look for it. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 09:45, 12 March 2007 (EDT)
