Never trust a scientific consensus. Scientists establish their entire careers around the premise of breaking established scientific consensus.
Heat Death of the Universe Theory is unobserved, unmeasured, unsubstantiated, and silly speculation. It is based on proven phenomena of entropy in the macroscopic inertial reference frames with time and gravity constants we understand, but ignores fundamental problems of quantum field observations and some kinds of black holes. It takes what is observed in the macroscopic inertial reference frames that we exist in and assumes without justification to the quantum and super-macroscopic frames. We don't even know if time as we understand it has the same meaning in quantum field, in which case all the energy rules that entropy rules of Heat Death Theory is based on fall apart.
I can understand faith in god. I do not understand faith in heat death of the universe.
As to your question of proportionality in ethics or:
Probably, but I don't know what it's like to experience infinite time frames. If we could experience infinite time periods and remember them in someway, then it seems cruelty and suffering would eventually become as mundane as a child's joy.
Have you ever considered there might actually be a god of some kind since energy can't be destroyed and information must be stored somewhere. Maybe in the last 13.8 billion years of the universe someone figured out how to perpetuate their consciousness. Or maybe it's a cosmic intelligence of some kind that exists and has just been around a really long time. It sees us and it amuses itself equally on our suffering and our joy for no other reason than it understands the absurdity of it all?
