Answer 2

The word "Magrathea" comes from one of the planets from Douglas Adams' novel " The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

Magrathea
Magrathea is a planet whose inhabitants built customized planets (using matter excreted from white holes) for tremendous amounts of money, making Magrathea one of the wealthiest planets in the galaxy. It was the Magratheans who constructed the planet-sized computer named Earth (for a race of hyperintelligent pandimensional beings) to determine the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, which is required to understand the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. But when the great galactic stock market crash occurred, the Magratheans went into hibernation awaiting the recovery of the economy to the point where their services could once again be afforded. They were later awoken for the reconstruction of the Earth (the Earth, Mk. II).

Magrathea orbits the twin stars of Soulianis and Rahm in the Horsehead Nebula.

One of the chief Magrathean planet designers is called Slartibartfast, and he designed the coastline of Norway. (He enjoyed doing the crinkly bits and fjords.)

In the radio series and TV series, Magrathea is the location of Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
