Some facts about the universe

In the beginning the universe was created.

This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

There are many theories as to how and why it was created.

The people of Van Maanen's Star believe that the universe was sneezed into existence by a being named Todd and fear it will end at a time they call "The coming of the Great White Handkerchief"

For most beings the universe consists of two things, time and space.

Time as viewed from a nonlinear, non-subjective point of view can be described as a bowl of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

A curious concept arises in three dimensional beings: they believe that everything has a cause and an effect, that everything can be traced all the way to the beginning of the universe and will somehow have an impact on its end.

This is of course nonsense.

Then there is space. Space is unimaginably big! Space is so vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big that some of its statistics seem illogical when in fact they make perfect sense. 

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Actually you could call this more of an edit as most things here exist in one way or another across all the books, podcasts, movie and TV series concerning Douglas Adams' work

If you enjoyed this crude approximation of Douglas Adams' writing style, I strongly urge to give his books a try

P.S There is also an easter egg in the form of a doctor who reference, did you find it?
