It's Asimov's favourite story, what else could I possibly say?

It's a 9 page PDF. 
Don't read the reviews. Read the short story. 

Isaac Asimov was a very gifted individual and left us with many great concepts and stories. The last question being one of them.

Can not say enough to this great-short story.

Toda uma hipotética história do universo em uma história menor do que um capítulo de alguns outros livros. Asimov era bom mesmo.

Saw a recommendation post about “captivating short stories you should read before you die”. And it was indeed captivating.

I was pondering through goodreads when I saw a book by Asimov in the recommended section. The name struck a bell but I didn't know where I heard it from. Then I remembered I read this short story a few years ago. It blew my mind. It's so short just one page and very easy to find online as well, it's worth the read.

Something that really came to me as a conclusion after listening to this book is...humanity will not exist forever, and entropy is the reason. Great read for sci-fi fanatics, technocrats, wonderers, who dream of a life outside of the realm of the Earth. 
After humanity's merger with AI and in the result creation of a supercomputer, there is only one question the computer cannot answer to the humanity, and it is "how did Universe became to exist?"
Isaac Asimov reveals the answer [or computer solves the problem] after everything ceases to exist, including the space-time, the answer comes as a beginning a new cycle of the universe. 

Entropy got us all. And I remain as a sceptic that technology is our answer.
