I understand just fine, since the universe exists why don't you explain how it could vanish into nothingness, heat not being nothing.

The sum of the universe equates to nothing where nothing is the sum of everything. Nothing in that sense does not refer to empty space.

The way I read it was that the easiest way is to create a new number system where infinite is now represented by 0. Then infinite -1 is now 0+1, infinite -2 is 0+2 etc. To get to the traditional value for 0 you have to get infinite and minus everything away from it which becomes an undefined function.
It isn't vanishing. You are misunderstanding what is meant by "nothing"

This is how to get to the "nothing" you are thinking of "To get to the traditional value for 0 you have to get infinite and minus everything away from it which becomes an undefined function" and is not how anybody is describing the universe.
Zeroing out just means it's conserved.
Bingo.
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.
