The universe is spontaneously replaced with a slightly more absurd universe to ensure that both the question and answer become meaningless.

To quote the message from the universes creators to its creation “We apologise for the inconvenience”. Does seem to sum up Douglas Adam’s views on absurdity of life.

Ok, my Hitchhiker-foo was too weak, thanks!
