The meaning of life. The reason it is a simple number and even stated as a joke is because it is not literally the meaning to life. The meaning behind it is that investigating what the number could mean is the most exciting part, the conclusion that it was a joke is symbolism. 42 = Life is the journey, not the destination. The answer to life isn't going to be very interesting. It is the journey discovering what the meaning of life is, not the meaning itself.
