thanks

because Second law of thermodynamics says that "Heat always from warmer object to the colder object and to cool something to Absolute Zero , u must have something colder than Absolute zero to absorb the heat coming out, Also Third law says that absolute zero as a state where energy has been reduced to the minimum.So u cant go below Absolute zero. Therefore, Absolute zero cant be reached is explained by third and second law :)
