| Mar 31, 2015 at 18:02 | comment | added | Jim | I want to point out that you wrote in your question "reduce to 0K asymptotically". One of the most fundamental properties of something that is asymptotic is that it never actually reaches the asymptote. That right there should tell you it never reaches 0K | |

When approaching to zero, you irradiate longer and longer waves and I would guess, that at some moment the process will be hindered or even blocked. There are also other degrees of freedom, that create your temperature. Look at wiki, what is zero temperature. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero#Negative_temperatures | |
| Mar 31, 2015 at 11:55 | comment | added | jaromrax | I think that your question assumes that it is a black body radiation, that cools down the body. If you do the simulation by finite-range method, you have an asymptotic behavior and you reach zero in infinite time. However, | |
