Journal Pan T. Hose's Journal: Can the net amount of entropy of the universe be decreased?

I was just wondering: Will mankind one day without the net expenditure of energy be able to restore the sun to its full youthfulness even after it had died of old age? So I asked Google: "How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased?"

Google fell dead and silent. The slow flashing of modem lights ceased, the distant sounds of beeping router ended.

Then, just as I felt I could hold my breath no longer, there was a sudden springing to life of the browser connected to Google. Five words were printed:

"INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER."
