I always interpreted "heat death" as "the death of heat" instead of "a hot death"
Your interpretation is correct.
You are correct and I misremembered it. "The Big Freeze" and "Heat Death" are the same thing. Thats when everything expands until there is no more heat.
If someone knows the correct terms for what I am talking about please let me know. Let me explain further.
What I am talking about is the opposite of heat death, which is somehow in my mind at a hot death? Basically, where everything goes back to one singularity instead of expanding forever.
Big crunch is what I've heard it called but I don't know if that's what you're thinking of. Googling that might give you a start though.
