Is it because answer to every question is 42?

The number 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

OK, I got it; from the Restaurant at the End of the Universe book:

“ “Six by nine. Forty two.”

“That’s it. That’s all there is.”

“I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe
