There's no reason it would be logically impossible to harness the resources of galaxies towards keeping you alive and in pain, but eventually the second law of thermodynamics saves you.
There is a fine art to the linguistic tool called the segue. This is a poor example of it.
That being said -- the second law of thermodynamics is only applicable to closed systems. We assume the universe is a closed system because we have no evidence to the contrary as yet. It remains conceivable however that future societies might devise a means of bypassing this particular problem.

I was contrasting the logically possible worst case scenario of "eternal unable to scream horror" with what I think is the physically possible worst case scenario, where you might think the logically and physically possible are the s...
