In order to achieve an actual absolute zero state it would either require the entire universe to stop moving even at the quantum level (clearly not desirable) or create a type of pocket universe that is untouched by our own until it is willed to be interacted with but that may also make it impossible to actually measure its temperature since the moment you observe it the pocket would become affected and thus heat back up. So it would still only be a theoretical temperature. It would require quite abstract and frankly unheard of means to be able to exist and be observed without being affected.


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.
