Iron. Given that most stars end their lives as big dense balls of iron, until they finally disintegrate over ungodly amounts of time.

Though, in the end it will just be stray photons & free protons if they never decay.

the universe "converges" towards maximum entropy, ie a totally isotropic distribution of matter and hence probably no elements as we know it (because they have a strong internal structure)

But protons do decay? Just takes a stupid amount of time.

if they decay it'll be all over in 10^40 years.
if they don't. it'll all end up in black holes, and they will evaporate via hawking radiation in 10^100 years
