The universe is believed to end just a few nanoseconds before a monkey finishes writing Hamlet.

Heat death would be my assumption, so between about 10^100 and 10^106 years

We know such an infinitesimally small amount about what is actually happening in the universe that any claims to be capable of predicting it’s end are patently absurd.
