David, I guess my post was a little confusing, as I was relying on my previous posts order to support the short post referred. I didn't intend to mean reducing the present state of the universe or any part of it to absolute zero, as that is clearly impossible. I was referring to the initial state of the original singularity being in a state of absolute zero temp. The conservation laws of mass and energy do not apply here as the prerequisites haven't yet formed.

Sorry for the confusion,
Lloyd
