What is it about the physical structure of the Universe that makes 560,000,000 years of suffering followed by no more suffering a win and 560,001,000 years of suffering followed by no more suffering a loss? (I believe that all intrinsic goods flow from the physical structure of the Universe.)
This sounds very much like status quo bias. There is no compelling reason why the universe is optimizing for goodness, so whether something is good or bad (as a terminal value) is independent of how much of it exists or has existed.
If you assume no time discounting, the difference between 560,001,000 years of suffering and 560,000,000 years of suffering + 1,000 years of no suffering is 1,000 years of suffering, which is definitely not zero.
