As for the future.. Earth will be inhabitable by humans in a billion years and dead in 5 or so but humans will most likely move to other planets much sooner. Even so, Earth will never explode and in 100 billion years, I don't think much would have changed in the universe. Besides, even if it is true that the universe itself will die of cold death, it takes a LOT longer that that. Besides, even if I end up alone in space in billions of years and for some reason don't freeze, who cares, it's still billions of years to live which is like forever. Even imagining living 40k years is hard and it's basically the whole existence of mankind.
