Heat death is one theory. I ascribe to the theory that, the fact that cosmic inflation has separated some galaxies by far more than 13.7 billion light years.. then that degree of ‘causal separation’ is proof that structure, complexity, and richness is our future, rather than fatal cosmic homogeneity. Cosmic inflation and gravitation have worked together to produce incredible amounts of ever-increasing structure and complexity in the universe. The universe may be quite unlike a closed system like a box full of idealized gas particles - where the traditional analysis of entropy has its roots. I get a bit dismayed whenever I see folks say that the prophecy of heat death is a lesson they use to influence the resigned destiny of their lives.
