If you think there is a problem, you need to tells us exactly how this problem arises and what makes it a problem.
Only when we know the terms of the problem, can we discuss the possible solutions.

Ok, I understand, and maybe I can put it in simpler terms.
I'm inclined to believe the universe is infinite rather than finite. Would such a cosmos present a problem in terms of entropy? |

A state of equilibrium, corresponding to maximum entropy, would be asymptotic (that is, reached only in the limit for time -> infinite).

As far as I understand, it is not problem (a pity, maybe, but not a problem).
