I don't get why people worry about "heat death" in 10^30 years. You're going to undergo "plain old death" in 10^1 years, times a constant that is almost certainly not much larger than 10.

I comprehend an abstract scientific interest in it -- a positive emotion of wonder. But any negative emotional connection feels like projecting right-here-now depression. It would be healthier to deal with the actual issue rather than maundering about on something that is not the real driving cause.
