Ok..wow...I read this as my first audiobook, it was only 30 minutes long and it was BRILLIANT. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.
Basically, humanity built an amazing computer that could answer any question. With its help, people figured out gradually how to use solar power instead of fossil fuels, interstellar travel and how to separate their consciousness from their bodies. Yet one question still remained. Over billions of year, the computer is repeatedly asked if there is a way to reverse entropy. And it never seems to have enough data...
Considering how short the story is, that's pretty much all I can say without giving too much away. I think it's best if you read this without any sort of spoiler. But I will say this, that last line is <3 and it gave me chills at the same time.

El doctor, en este cuento en particular, demuestra que no es necesario personajes epicos, o una trama muy compleja, aca son simples accesorios para contar una historia, y que historia!!! , No puedo escribir mas poruqe malograria el final, es uno de esos cuentos o short stories que se disfrutan de principio a fin, y el fin es este caso es el comienzo de todo.

One of the best short stories ever written. Pretty easy to find for free online too!

The best way to explain entropy to a child, rather than saying its chaos.

This was very provoking and captivating for such a short read.
I had to use my hand to cover the last half page because I didn't want it spoiled before time.
So glad I did it, since the punch at the end, the answer, the finale is written in CAPS. And.. it's remarkable!
