Aractus, I don't disagree in principle, except for three things, 5 billion years seems like a hopeless underestimation for the situation you describe since there will still be stars and star formation going on for much much longer (more like 10^100 years); the directionality of time already arises in Newtonian physics as a statistical phenomenon if you have an extremely low entropy state at one point. There is currently no evidence that cosmic expansion will rip apart things at short length scales such as atoms. A constantly accelerated expansion as it is caused by constant dark energy/cosmological constant does not do that
