    Don't get the "Rational" thing...
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Finally Multivac's descendant, AC did calculate the answer. But by then, far into the future, there was no person to hear, and nothing remained. The final stars had faded into darkness.
