Definitely Maybe (За миллиард лет до конца света, literally A Billion Years Before the End of the World) is a short 1974 novel by the Strugatsky Brothers about the nature of scientific progress.An astrophysicist, Dmitry Alekseevich Malyanov, is working on his thesis on stellar interaction in his apartment, when strange events start happening. An attractive woman apparently sent by his wife arrives, people who have never been interested in astrophysics start probing him about his work, and he's visited by unpleasantly insistent government investigators. What do all of these events mean?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
Definitely, Maybe / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: Pretty much what happens in the story. Laws of Entropy got everyone besides Vecherovsky (whom they will likely crush as well) to abandon their work and didn’t sustain any damage in process. On the other hand, it’s debatable how much of a bad guy they really are. | |

Downer Ending | |
Definitely, Maybe / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Most people will probably see the end of the story as this. Malyanov and his friends have been forced to abandon the work on the certainly Nobel-winning prizes, all of them are likely to be mentally scarred for life, Zakhar now has his illegitimate child to take care of and Vecherovsky is very likely to get killed for carrying on. On the other hand, Weingarten will get to be the head of an advanced research center as a consolation prize, all of them are alive for now and Zakhar might yet reconnect with the child’s mother, or become a better person through the parental responsibilities., so it’s not all bad. | |
