I guess the more proper term would be universe entropy ??

What you have said would be a dam good argument against that theory.
That the reverse should be possible, ie.. getting energy from nowhere.

I guess if they figure out where the energy is going they might figure
out how to get some back.

Thinking about it this way leads me to think it is a mathematical error
they have not caught yet.
