If the wind chill were colder than absolute zero, would we be able to "feel" a temperature (for lack of a better word) that doesn't even exist?

Impossible situation - no movement at absolute zero. This is the COMPLETE absence of heat. Wind would create motion. Motion would create friction. Friction would cause heat. Heat means it's not absolute zero.

There would be no wind at absolute zero as molecules are no longer moving -- in order for there to be wind you need gas, and in order to have a gas you need molecules to be excited and moving...
Also, wind is created by temperature differences - in order to have a temperature difference you'd obviously need to have a temperature that was higher than absolute zero.

By Definition absolute zero is the temperature in which all movement stops down to the molecular level. So ...at absolute zero there is no wind to blow and no further colder temperature can be achieved

No the wind chill will be absolute zero degrees itself...It is the temperature which the winds do implement their windyness or stillness or warmth. So watever the temperature that will be the temparature of the winds blowing to :D

Well absolute zero is -253 degrees Celsius, and I don't see how wind could occur somewhere that has that temperature (simply for lack of planets that are many light years away from their suns). But, it's not that it would actually be colder, the wind would simply make it feel colder, so it would feel like it's -255, though it truly wouldn't be.

This question makes me wonder if:
If I take an item at absolute zero and in it’s motionless state attach it to a moving object. So it is being moved in its motionless state (placing it an “infinite” distance away from the moving object with other objects at absolute zero and transfer the motion before the heat reaches the last object), could it then become colder?

No, there would be no wind. Absolute zero is the absense of all heat (=no molecular particle movement what-so-ever). Even if you were able to generate a "wind" once it reached absolute zero it would stop ("freeze") mid-air.

you question is irrelevant. At absolute zero all energy stops. All motion stops. So there is no possibility of having wind at absolute zero therefore there could be no wind chill.

No, first off the temperature would never go down that low; but if it did, then the wind would be the same temperature as the outside.
You would freeze before you ever felt the temperature.

if a place ever reached absolute zero then the air couldn't move because when you reach the point of absolute zero all the atoms stop moving that's why it's absolute.
