Huh? The universe will suffer heat death. So it most certainly has an expiration date. The way we see it now will simply look different, so in that context yes, that period of our current look will have an end. The only thing QM has not figured out yet is infinite or finite cycle. It may be both overlapping infinitely. But again, that type of infinity doesn't suffer infinite regress like a god claim does, because off isn't forever, and on isnt forever, but going from one to the other could go on forever.
No different than drawing a line on a piece of paper, the line is finite, but the points between the ends can be an infinite number of decimal places.
My layperson's brain sees this giant weather pattern we call the universe being no different than seasons changing. The sun having a lifespan, the planet having a life span, and even life itself having a life span. Everything breaks down, but what rot is left over, ends up moving on to something else, just like a tree dies and becomes nutrients for soil. Just like the atoms in our bodies as individual atoms were around before us and constantly get recycled.
I would have no problem viewing the QM twitch after our heat death, being the rot that is like that dead tree leading to become nutrients for another singularity and then onto another big bang.
What is not require for "all this" infinite or finite, is a magic man with super powers. Just like we know Thor isn't the cause of lightening, and Poseidon isn't the cause of hurricanes.
