A Loophole to Survive the End of the Universe?

The latest video from Kurzgesagt imagines a scenario in which an advanced civilization called the Noxans can potentially survive the heat death of the universe.

With five hours of the full energy emitted by the Sun, we could power present day humanity for about 10 billion years.

So the Noxans harvest the last stars and build a gigantic complex of batteries around their home star. In principle, this energy could keep them alive for a few hundred trillion years, a long time but not even close to forever.

So now the hard part of the plan begins. The Noxans need to change the nature of life itself.
