TL;DR
Could there be new particles after the universe will reach heat death?
Apparently, among the options for the fate of the universe, the universe reaching heat death in the extremely far future is the most likely one, after the last black holes would have evaporated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe)

But, even if objects in extremely long timescales would quantum tunnel into black holes by quantum fluctuations, could there be also some quantum fluctuations that would make new particles to form (using the energy "leftovers" of the universe after heat death)? Or because energy (like electromagnetic radiation) will be redshifted, there will be a point where this would be impossible? Is there any "escape" or loop-hole to heat death?
