>>Not sure if I understood correctly, but it seems you are proposing an eternal, unchanging, Universe. There are some serious problems with that. For a start, the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Briefly, it states that there are irreversible processes. Any new physics that goes contrary to the Second Law is highly doubtful.

However, there is no process which will convert significant amount of helium (or metals) back into hydrogen (and gather the light energy scattered throughout the Universe!)

The relation applies IF you are thinking about a static and eternal Universe - but I may have misunderstood that part. If there are irreversible processes - and especially with respect to energy - that means that one day, there will be no energy available to power stars, or living beings. Hence, the Universe can't remain in state we currently observe forever.

That's right; I hadn't thought that part through.
