2 Spanners: That’s not the worst of it. That’s 2.3 quadrillion years in real space.
3 Spanners: So much matter has been fused that star formation ended hundreds of trillions of years ago.
4 Spanners: All matter in the universe is now degenerate.
4 Serron: No... you’re degenerate!

2.3 quadrillion years into the future puts our heroes squarely in the degenerate era of the universe.

Some would say we already passed through a degenerate era with the fashion decade of the 2000s.
