Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy , in a closed system, its not created nor destroyed, remains constant. The universe its a closed system, so the total energy in the universe must remains constant. The energy doesn’t vanish due to friction, but its dissipated into the surroundings, in the form of heat.
