I believe it rests on a questionable correlation - one that mistakes the vastness and physical features of the universe for statements about meaning. The scale or eventual heat death of the cosmos doesn't actually tell us anything about meaning or purpose, as these are different categories entirely.

This creates tension between our desire for meaning and apparent cosmic meaninglessness. Paradoxically, accepting our insignificance can be liberating, freeing us from the need to find grand cosmic purpose.
