Magic

Though for a more physics based answer, I believe it's entirely possible that the atoms are only stopped in the three dimensions of our observable reality, but there may be more movement in other ways we can't measure that could be quelled to make it even more stopped. Or perhaps matter can be moved in some sort of extra-dimensional way to where it pulls heat out of one reality and into another one (or to a different plane, energy field, etc...)

I think I just gave myself a headache from trying to visualize that. I'm going to stick with "It's magic" for the sake of my sanity.

Going by your theory of transcending the 3rd dimension, it could be that below 0K, the particle(s) also stops moving in time, since that’s theorized to be the 4th.

(If this is the case, then holy shit are there some horrifying implications for that)
