The Boltzmann brain is only really a problem if the vacuum or spacetime of the observable universe is "eternal." It probably is not, and in fact there are reasons to suspect the vacuum of the universe has phantom energy. This will force the universe into a big rip in 10 trillion years or so. This is based on data with Hubble constant discrepancy. SN1 data with H = 74km/sec-Mpc and CMB data with H = 68km/sec-Mpc, So the entire observable universe may be ripped asunder down to and beyond quarks and leptons long before a BB is statistically possible.
