The Infinite Improbability Drive saved my life. The Heart of Gold is powered by one of these drives. This sort of engine is based on the principle of Quantum Theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory) . Quantum Theory is the theory that a subatomic particle like an electron is very likely to be close to the atom is a part of such as the nucleus. However, there is a very small chance that the electron can be anywhere in the universe. When probability can be controlled space can be traveled faster then light in this way. The small problem with this drive is that there is no way to tell where one is going when it works. It is in this fashion that The Heart Of Gold, against all odds, entered our airspace at the precise moment we needed it to to save us. It also just so happened to be piloted by Zaphod Beeblebrox who just so happened to be President of the Galaxy who just so happened to also be Ford's cousin (kind of.) Quite a mouthful. I'm not quite sure how it happened but I'm sure glad it did or I would be a corpse floating around the galaxy right now.
