That does seem to be the implication, but in a hundred years or less it won't make any difference to you or me or anybody we know.
It is interesting to think about and would help with the uncomfortableness that I feel when I hear things like "physics seems to break down" at this or that epoch. Physicists seem to me to be a bit too quick to just invent some wild assed idea or another to fill in observational/experimental gaps (expansion, anthropic principle, dark matter and dark energy all come quickly to mind) so if somebody can come up with a testable model which avoids having to make shit up to fill in the gaps, I'm willing to listen.

I suppose if there was no beginning then there is also no end.
