>With infinite time will order spontaneously emerge from heat death?
The answer may be yes or no in any particular axiomatization (model) of the physical laws, but depends strongly on the choice of model. Unlike a normal situation, when we talk about very-low-probability effects we are subject to any influence of "quantum gravity" and other "new/unknown physics" that may have a finger, however light, on the scale.
In the Standard Model I think the answer is yes, but we are already aware of some deficiencies (neutrino transitions).
