The Last Question
"The Last Question" is a great short story by Isaac Asimov that addresses some of these issues. In it, the universe continues to expand; the sun burns out and dies and all useful energy is extinguished. The Big Sleep.
Spoiler:
Spoiler: Eventually the great thought computer answers the last question, which is how to reverse entropy, and re-creates the universe with a cry of "let there be light."
End Spoiler.
I remember first reading it in middle school and just being completely stunned by the story. It would make a brilliant short film.
