    Heres a great source

    It explains why the universe will have a cold death instead of a heat death.

    Right now the universe is expanding and its expanding faster today than yesterday. Things could change, but current math points to a cold death

      I always interpreted “heat death” as “the death of heat” instead of “a hot death”

        You are correct and I misremembered it. “The Big Freeze” and “Heat Death” are the same thing. Thats when everything expands until there is no more heat.

        If someone knows the correct terms for what I am talking about please let me know. Let me explain further.

        What I am talking about is the opposite of heat death, which is somehow in my mind at a hot death? Basically, where everything goes back to one singularity instead of expanding forever.
