    False.

    Explanation:

    The given statement is false.

    The entropy of the universe can never be negative. As we all are aware that entropy ids the measure of "randomness" of a system. Change in entropy would mean increase in randomness.

    Zero entropy mean means the system is in utmost order. And positive entropy a system with some amount of disorder. Whereas negative entropy makes no sense as there can be no system with more than perfect state.
