    Thank you for asking. A few things that I know based on scientific fact:

    1. We will only know the answer to that question if we strive to keep our species and it’s evolutions alive.

    2. What we call the laws of nature are only what we observe them to be NOW, based on the technology we have. We thought splitting the atom was impossible.

    Entropy is something we view NOW as inevitable, but it could be that we figure a way to harness the fundamental forces of the universe and overcome even that.

    I do think it is possible. Probably maybe not, but I will keep pushing people to investigate it’s possibility rather than suggesting we should simply give up because we’re not perfect.

    The people at that point in time may not be recognizably human. That is fine by me. They may be very recognizably human though. Time and space are funny that way. If tomorrow someone figures out how to harness gravity, we may very well be the species that does just that. It would be very cool to see the end of the universe and persist as beings that can create a new universe.
