24 years is nothing in the scale of the universe
If it increases entropy as much as many suspect and it only took 1/3 of a couple humans' lives to open that phase space, the Universe has done what it wanted - to hasten heat-death.
Interesting angle — but if heat death were possible it would have happened by now.
Huh? Heat death of the universe is going to take an incomprehensibly large amount of time. Like, 10^106 years.
The universe is A LOT younger than that.
As Hawking once explained, “Since events before the Big Bang have no observational consequences, one may as well cut them out of the theory, and say that time began at the Big Bang.” When cosmologists talk about the universe and its age, it seems to me, as a non-cosmologist, that they’re using terms of art related to their models.
It's not "personification", it's the universe tending toward entropy increasing overall. I don't think I've heard anyone claim that heat death "should have happened" as an argument against it, or what it's supposed to mean in reference to the original post.
There is a singularity in Andromeda, so I don't know why one forming matters

Please read up on heat death before continuing to share baseless information.
Huge respect for those in this field or others that don’t give up after so many years. Thank you
