> he doesn't seem to believe in the heat death of the Universe
I’m not sure I believe that the heat death of the universe really is the end of all things forever and for all time either, after reading Asimov’s The Last Question and a particularly fantastic manga oneshot adaptation by manga artist Ryul.
If you haven’t read it, I can’t recommend it more highly, and the manga version is a nice addition to the canon. I found a version narrated by the man himself on the Internet Archive, and I also found a fully voice acted audio version from the Drabblecast, also linked below.
