Space works differently, in that it should be 0K. The universe doesn't move in the same way objects do, it just expands. The only reason why it's not at 0K is because there's still the radiation from the big bang. This temperature is also decreasing and is around 3K right as we speak.
There is an area in space at 1k. What I'm saying is that right now, barring what appears to be inevitable for everything in the universe, absolute zero is impossible. There is no area in space this has happened and is not within our means to achieve. If absolute zero were achieved now naturally or artificially the scientific community would probably slam on the panic button. Absolute zero will always be a theoretical temperature because measuring something causes it to be affected and if everything in the universe hit absolute zero there would be no way to measure anything.
