Let's assume that the universe will evolve over time to resemble the one predicted by heat death theorists.
We're also assuming that the Big Bounce, Crunch, Rip etc. don't occur.
Is it possible that while it resembles a heat death scenario, the heat death will never be total?
That means: is it possible for life to exist (in some form or another) forever?
(I'm defining life from a physicalist point of view, which Schrodinger defined as an embodied metabolism.)
