The Weirdly Nihilistic Reason Why Outer Space Is So Cold

[Atomic77]

The answer is there is not enough suns to heat it up way out there.

We all know that outer space is cold because sources of heat like stars are located far from you. But where is that weirdy nihilistic reason?

Nihil means nothing. Literally.

The fact that deep space is empty, void of most matter, makes it a nothingness. To be nothing is to verge on nihilism. I guess, the inference is based on nothingness. (Not, per se, the often intended use of 'annihilate'; to destroy). English can be fun. And confusing.

Maybe to think empty (from matter) space as nothingness is all wrong. Maybe to think that space and matter are 2 completely separate things and that the former is containing the latter is wrong.
Space and energy(radiation) expanded with bigbang all together. What was before? Maybe that was the "nothing".
Matter as we know it today cannot exist without space. Maybe matter is the same (empty) space with different properties (more energy for starters).

An object, a particle moving into space its in reality the space moving its properties.

Space is the name of the big bar on the computer keyboard. Space is something you occupy. Space is Space.

I've been watching a lot of Neil deGrasse Tyson videos on Youtube & from my understanding you can't get to "absolute zero".

Am I right that it's impossible?
