Oh, should I be relieved? Speaking of 42, I found an amusing
anectdote on a site dedicated to such.
Deep Thought
"Scientists in Cambridge spent three years calculating one of the fundamental
keys to the universe - The Hubble Constant [the velocity at which a typical
galaxy is receding from Earth divided by its distance from Earth] that determines
the age of the universe. This process mirrored a passage in [Douglas Adams's]
cult science fiction novel and radio series 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'
in which an alien race programs a computer called Deep Thought to provide the
ultimate answer to understanding life and the universe.
"In the novel, seven and a half million years later Deep Thought comes back with
the result, 42.
"In an extraordinary coincidence when the Cambridge scientists finally calculated
the Hubble Constant they found the answer was also 42."
KEWL!
