Is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle the reason why we can’t reach absolute 0?

Is it because at absolute zero you would know with certainty the momentum and the position of the particle? Or is there another reason? Would we ever be able to overcome the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?

I’m not a phycist, but I think your question makes no sense. First, absolut zero does not mean subatomic particles cease to move. And second, Heissenberg principle is more a mathematical construct than an explanation of how particles behave.
