    “Ultimately it increases entropy… let me tell you about the heat death of the universe…”

    “No, Mom! I’m still afraid of the False Vacuum monster laying underneath my ground state!”

      So scientists are not entirely certain about the heat death of the universe. The heat death is the most reasonable prediction given what we know but there could be a force acting across the universe that may very slowly reverse the expansion of the universe that we have yet to discover and cause a big crunch over a ridiculously large amount of time. The fact is predictions that far in the future aren’t really very useful.
