i don't think it is possble because at absolute zero all matter loses all energy and if something has no energy, it has no mass. therefore it can't exist.

No. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy per particle - related to its velocity. If we have a box with particles in it, Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle we can't be sure of the position AND momentum (hence velocity) at the same time. If we are sure there are particles in the box, then we have some knowledge of their position, so we can't be sure of their velocity, so the average velocity can't be zero (that would mean all particles' velocities are known to be zero). If the box is completely empty, the temperature has no meaning, being applied only to particles. The temperature of the interior of the box is undefined.

No, No, obsolutely No...

For those out there who are interested in the question or idea of what is absolute zero… Answered; for your information, there is no absolute zero. There will always be movement among the smallest molecules in the sub atomic spectrum, which causes agitation and some form of heat. As long as you have this state, where molecules are rubbing among each other in a constant perpetual motion, oscillation there will always be some form of heat preventing an immobile frozen state. If this were the case, the Universe would be frozen solid. There would be no life, as we know it…
