Inflation and heat death would seem to preclude this. The universe might have infinite time, but the era of the universe in which work can be achieved or that atoms can exist is not infinite.

Actually there's this cool concept about quantum randomness creating something from nothing. So there could be an infinite number of universes spontaneously appear in an otherwise maximum entropy environment. Try searching for boltzman brains.

How does the word "eventually" translate to entirely different timelines operating under different laws of physics, different spacial dimensions, and different subatomic particles?

I'm pretty sure they would operate under the same laws of physics, it is after all in the same universe.
