If you were to put an object in space

[jdoggg12]

would it eventually reach a temperature of absolute zero?

Shielding it from radiation is the tricky part, i think a series of overlapping mirrors forming a sphere of protection would be necessary. Mirrored on one side, highly absorbent on the other.

Would the object (whatever it is) eventually run out (emitting radiation, but not absorbing any) of all energy and reach absolute zero?

Quit your jibba jabba, foo.

 

[jdoggg12]

What does it matter? Are you trying to get at something?

[jdoggg12]

Its a fun Q... give it a stab

Interesting question. Should probably post under highly technical though.

If you put a lump of Coal in Hillary Clinton's ass

Will it turn into a diamond?

 

[MrPickins]

The insulation would have to be <= 0K for that to happen. Otherwise it would be radiating heat to the object, warming it.

No, but if you put a diamond in there, it would turn to coal.

Even deep interstellar space is above absolute zero, isn't it?

 

[Bootprint]

Nope.

Depends on the properties of the jacket.
