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?

Physics as we understand it doesn’t give a way, but there are many things we can’t really explain in Physics. Is the Universe full of dark matter, or is our understanding of gravity incomplete? Maybe new physics in some area could lead to a means to remove Heisenberg Uncertainty from quantum mechanics, but today that’s science fiction like Star Trek’s Heisenberg Compensators.
