I think 42 is more important anyway.

42!

The atomic number of molybdenum. The element following molybdenum with atomic number 43 (technetium) has no stable isotopes. The number of teeth wolves and dogs (canines) have. 42° is the critical angle of refraction by water - it is the angle between a rainbow and the antisolar point. The light leaving a rainbow is spread over a wide angle, with a maximum intensity around 42° The number of minutes it would take a theoretical "gravity train" to travel to any point on earth. In one Grand Unified Theory, the Georgi-Glashow model, the inverse of the coupling constant is approximately 42. 10! (10 factorial) seconds is exactly 42 days. On page 7-10 of Volume 1 of "The Feynmann Lectures on Physics" is a marginal figure that illustrates the strength ratio of gravitation attraction and electrical repulsion between two electrons as 1/4.17 x 10^42. The denominator is also written out by hand as a long, snaking 4,170,... followed by 39 more zeros. Feymann mentions the unified field theory, the similarity of the inverse square laws, the disparity of the relative strengths, and asks "Where could such a large number come from? ... it involves something deep in nature."

A Well? LOL! (But is it SACRED?)
