The sun is part of our closed system. It won't last forever, and without it no life will survive, and even if it does, the remaining resources needed to survive are fundamentally limited on the scale of eternity.
it's about the excerize of taking concepts to an absurd logical extreme. It's fun! Tho yes, futile
There are other more pressing issues, but the sun going out will happen and it will fuck us if we’re still around. If we’ve moved to other stars, those will eventually go out too. There’s no point worrying about it, because it’s unstoppable

The assumption of the infinite is not an axiom of life but of the philosophical principle of Will. Which is fine if you embrace paradox and assume a will that is sufficiently exercised can live forever - and I see how biology could become a model for such an idea. But it's not intrinsic in biology. That said, the idea of infinite repetition or perpetuation of the finite is no problem at least from a Nietzschean perspective...
