I'm a few months from a Ph.D in Physics (theory)...

I find it rather curious that you've only learnt Fortran while nearly having obtained a Ph.D.
2nd year of undergrad and i've got Python, Matlab and a bit of C++ under by belt as part of the curriculum.

Matlab and Python not FORTRAN, I never heard that this is used in industry

>engineers doing heavy simulations also use it
Aerospacefag confirming this, all our bespoke cfd / csm tools are written in Fortran

which University?

while technically true not practically true
If you're a PhD and get a research position, nobody's going to care if you produce shit code--it's the expectation. Granted if you actually know your shit about computing and understand the physical limitations of memory and binary encodings (i.e. IEEE floating point), that'll go a long way to ensure that you're not a total shit.

If not heat death, then what?

well I am the guy with MSc. in EE, in fact I did my MSc. in developing FPU units kek, I assure you most developers don't and don't need to understand IEEE 754 standard at all
