I was watching Brian Cox on TV last night and he was talking about the heat death of the universe and made the statement that in the far future (he was talking the FFFFFAAAAARRRR future ... out there when even super-massive black holes have evaporated) there would be NO matter left and only radiation tending towards absolute zero. He did not say anything about why normal matter would disappear (or if he did, I missed it).
First, is that a correct statement and second, if it is then am I correct in assuming that this will happen because super-low-probability quantum events of particles spontaneously converting to radiation will ALWAYS, given enough time, happen ?
Thanks
