Question: What is the meaning of life? Answer: While this question has been pondered by philosophers, theologians and drunk people throughout the history of humankind, no definitive "meaning of life" has ever been found. Such a subject is simply too subjective. While the "meaning" is not definitive, we do know the "answer" to life. Take this excerpt from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: For instance, a race of hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings once built themselves a gigantic supercomputer called Deep Thought to calculate once and for all the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. For seven and a half million years, Deep Thought computed and calculated, and in the end announced that the answer was in fact Forty-two -- and so another, even bigger, computer had to be built to find out what the actual question was. Although this answer is contested by many, most scientists and science fiction readers agree that 42 is indeed the answer to life, the universe and everything. Sources:
