At some point in the long to infinite history of the universe there will eventually be born a creature with a configuration of neurons sort of similar to the configuration you had before you died. So it's sort of reasonable to say that's you. Plus time passes quickly when you're dead, so to you it will feel like no time at all.

Heat death is coming soon enough - now is all there is.
Sort of a if-everything-can-happen-it-will-happen scenario. But not what I was talking about.
