The infinite expansion to heat death over 10^100 years is looking less likely, 10^11 years should be plenty.

not obvious to me this makes things better as opposed to worse? sure, the time bound helps but in the runup to a crunch won't we get vastly more devices in causal range at an asymptotically increasing rate?
