Can you just wait out the heat death of the universe?

+0

Okay, so the heat death of the universe is approaching. You can't stop it. You can't dodge it. What do you do? You wait it out.

According to wikipedia, about $10^{{10}^{56}}$ years after the heat death of the universe, random quantum fluctuations will start another.

Therefore, it would seem that it would be possible for a civilization to hibernate. Simply stop using energy until the new universe pops up. Maybe put yourselves in a bubble?

Could it work?

Note: I guess the question is, is this fundamentally impossible. I have a feeling it might be, but I'm not sure.
