My personal favourite "hopeful" consequence of the eventual heat-death of the universe is the idea of cyclical "
Big Bounce" universe-creations.

Two infinite branes--one that becomes our universe and a "mirror universe"--live a tiny fraction of a meter apart. When the branes collide, the resulting energy creates all the matter and energy in our universe. The membranes then bounce apart. The newborn universe, on its brane, evolves and eventually burns out. However, the theorists were surprised to realize that the collide-and-bounce process repeats itself ad infinitum.
