    Yes, but we don’t have proof that universe can’t generate new matter. For all we know there is a mechanism in universe not yet observed that can create new matter out of little vacuum and more stars will keep forming.

    So technically all we can say is, it’s likely that stars will die out in 1000 trillion years.

      True… we also don’t have proof there isn’t a tea pot orbiting our Sun since it’s creation, either.

      However, there’s also a complete lack of evidence of it.

      You cannot prove a negative. The evidence says no new matter can be created. No evidence that new matter gets created. Therefore, we work on the model of no new matter creation.
