If the universe exists for an infinite amount of time, is death still truly oblivion and eternal? (hexbear.net)

From where I'm sitting, it looks like death should not be the end in that case.

You can't perceive the passage of time when you are dead, so you're just going to experience dying and then immediate rebirth after the countless eons pass for that rare moment where entropy spontaneously reverses to form your mind again.

Can they? Sure. If a system is wandering ergodically through its state space, there's no reason it can't find its way back to "special" low volume states. Will they find their way there? Almost certainly not in anything like a reasonable amount of time. Infinite time is not a reasonable amount of time though.
