    If you appeal to heat death then you cannot say brains pop back into existence either because “matter has a finite life,” and so it is self-defeating. If brains can pop back into existence due to random fluctuations then surely planets and stars could as well given enough time.

      The energy to spontaneously create a planet is vastly more than a brain. Then again, with the weird maths of infinities, it might play out.

      Though to recreate the full illusion would require something closer to the big bang itself.

      It’s well into the “here he dragons” realms of science however. Speculating well beyond reliable evidence.
