Nice idea, did you borrow it from Liu Cixin ?
I have no idea what that is but the concept of the multiverse and possibly traveling between universes is an extremely old idea. This is just modernizing it to include the heat death of the universe
Yes, I mean that specific twist ! It's present in a series of books by chinese author Liu Cixin called "the three-body problem" (I won't say at what point to avoid spoiling it for you in case you're into scifi and are interested in reading it)
Pretty cool idea if you ask me
Hmmm after jostling my memory a bit, it's not exactly that. But it's close, essentially the same idea
Ahhh my bad, googling him I don't think I've heard of him or his works before (aside from announcements of three body problem getting a show), but it's possible I picked up the idea through osmosis somewhere. Yea it's so far off that it doesn't really matter, but it definitely helps with that ultimate feeling of nihilism that thinking about the heat death can bring along.
