      Fun fact: “the heat death of the universe” refers to the death of heat, not death from heat. Heat itself will die. There will be no more warmth in the universe, everything will end in cold and dark and ice.

        Kinda? All energy will dissipate until everything is the same temperature. Idk what that temperature will be but it might be pretty cold. But heat won’t just, like, go away. It will homogenize.

            Heat - A form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules

            That would still exist. However a “concept” being defined as an idea, would not exist as there would be no living thing to think it up.

            So heat would exist, the “concept of heat” wouldn’t. So your first statement is technically correct. Your second statement is wrong by the primary definition of heat.
