Disproved a physical concept - Quantum Immortality?

I am just a physics student, but I think I have come up with a problem with a popular physical concept. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_immortality The concept of Quantum Immortality contradicts what is known in regards to the basic laws of thermodynamics. Firstly, take into account the second law of thermodynamics, that the entropy of a closed system can only stay the same or increase. The universe is a closed system, and therefore the entropy can only stay the same or increase - heading towards the heat death of the universe. However, does heat death occur in a finite period of time? The entropy of the universe MUST increase if there is life existant within it. So, in all of the universes in the multiverse the entropy will increase to a level (IN FINITE TIME) where it cannot sustain life. Nobody can survive in all multiverses for an infinite amount of time as the concept of Quantum Immortality puts forward. Am I wrong, or did these 'scientists' forget thermo? EDIT: Nobody can survive in any universe for an infinite amount of time as the concept of Quantum Immortality puts forward.

1. If you read Quantum Physics, you begin to realize that a lot of the older "laws" of physics are being challenged in a substantial way. It's not that people got it wrong in the past, it's just that they based their observations on what was technically possible to observe at the time. Try reading some of Dr Fred Alan Wolf's books.
2. well, one physical concept is that there is not such thing as bilocation. however, quantum physics is showing that this is'nt so.
3. I think your mistake is thinking that the quantum immortality idea is science rather than science fiction. The multiple universe interpretation of qm is so full of holes in any event as to be more or less useless.
