How did the universe start?
The short story The Last Question by Isaac Asimov follows a machine intelligence called multivac through eons of existence all the way to the end of time. The story is driven by people of different eras finding the same question to ask the multivac. The response is always the same. INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER. In the end there is an answer, but it’s much bigger than the question asked.
