With the best technology nowadays,
can we demonstrate a zero-particle movement in a space fit for that purpose??
Can it be done either by a form of
A) a vacuum; can all the particles (not include those virtual particle stated in quantum theory) , like gas particles, proton, electron, etc. be pulled out a given space??
B) freezed particle; if the task all the gas particles , proton, electron, etc. to be pulled out is impossible, can we freeze the remaining particles in the near-vacuum space so that zero particle movement is maintained??

look forward to and thanks for any reply

I still don't think they've achieved "absolute zero". They can sure get close though.

Seems they have to bring it pretty low to get Bose-Einstein Condensate.

Zero Particle movement, that is a good one. As atomic and subatomic particles are in motion to exist sorta makes motion a constant. And this supports the Change theory.
The only constant in the universe is change.
By that theory, the answer is no, one cannot attain zero particle movement of any matter in any way or by applying any technique. The manipulation of forces that effect particle movement in and of itsel is an act of particle movement, allthough I can concieve of the area in wich you are asking.
The fusion/fission of any material is, for an instant an actuall cessation of particle activity. With that one I do not see a need for a freezing to attain a non movement state.
Any particles can be suspended in movement, for very,very almost inconcievable passages of time, but yes, this has been done, and is being done every day.
Use the particles themselves to retard and or accelerate the remaining particles that can then be captured and suspended, by equal but opposing particles, and thus attain a solid area of zero activity.

Th econdition you are referring to is called absolute zero. In the field of chemistry this is a theoretical conditon that we know could exist, but like many other phenomenon, cannot be duplicated in a laboratory because of physical limitations. Fopr example, for matter to reach absolute zero, there would have to be a tremendous amout of heat removed continuously because of the physics laws that state that heat will flow from hot to cold. Therefore, the colder and objest, the greater the heat transfer, all theory of course.
Absolute zero is measured at zero degrees Kelvin, or -273 Celsius. According to Wikipedia, the coldest temp acheived was .45 billionths of a Kelvin degree.

no can do. In a "perfect" vacuum, you will always have zero-point energy or vacuum energy causing particles to appear, move and disappear.

The colder and slower we get to absolute zero on the other hand causes matter to form Bose-Einstein Condensates that act as an enthalpy barrier of sorts making it impossible to get any colder towards achieving absolute zero.

net-net: we will never have zero movement anywhere in our dimension.

Suppose that you had a container filled with nothing.Would photons pass through it?Could you induct a current through it?What's left over after everything's gone?If I were to have a container filled with truly nothing I would have a case of nothing taking up space.For nothing to take up space there would have to be particles of nothing.Nothing is a domain in which no photon could ever exist.Particles that could never move.Particles with no pi in them.Pre-pi particles.The temperature of nothing would be homogeneously ever plummeting.The particles would be pi-less curves that exist because of homogeneously ever plummeting temperatures.In all there is--that is all there is--is nothing and pi!

If any matter ever attained absolute zero, how would you prevent surrounding matter from transferring heat to it?
