The heat death of the universe is a theory that has never been observed. Theories like it depend entirely on our understanding on "esoteric" aspects of reality, which contrary to your belief have brought fantastic benefits to nearly everyone alive today, including you and I, right now sharing our thoughts through magical telepathy, the result of some new instrument finding some new "esoteric" phenomenon like radio waves some time ago.
