Isaac Asimov's 'The Last Question' answers that.

The Last Question is one of my most favorite short stories, and unless I'm completely missing something, has nothing to do with simulation.

Stanislaw Lem actually has a story precisely on this subject.

I feel stupid that I absolutely love this story but have no idea what you are you referring to.

Maybe we are a computer simulation but maybe we are the computer!
