Science Fiction About Entropy
"The Last Question"(1956) is a science fiction short story by Issac Asimov about the ability of humankind to cope with and potentially reverse the process of entropy.
In the story, people asks a super-computer named AC(Multivacs) again and again:" How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased?" Each time AC's answer is:"INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." In the last scene, humanity disappears; space and time cease to exist; the universe is already dead. However, AC somehow continues to ponder the question. Eventually, AC discovers the answer and decides to show it by demonstrating the reversal of entropy: "And AC said:"LET THERE BE LIGHT!" And there was light."

Famous quotes containing the words science, fiction and/or entropy:
“He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars:
General Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer,
For Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
