So a working theory that I support doesn't count as opinion ?
In that case I'll go with: Because Reasons!

Close.
4 = Death. (Both are "Shi")
42 = Shi-ni, more of an indication that someone or something wants you dead, or less literally is a sign of very bad luck coming your way

42 is the answer. What you're really looking for is the question, and why does it always equal 42?

4/20 is Stoner's Day, and since stoners are the most enlightened ones, Snoop Dogg made 42 the meaning of everything to give stoners some credit for their huge knowledge about our universe.

Actually -
42 is an old computer term, back when the asterisk ( * ) went by, well, 42. DOS computers would use 42, or asterisk, as a meaning for freeform or random. Therefore, the answer to everything is... uh... anything.

  1. There are 42 dots on a pair of dice.
  2. When you see a rainbow, the angle between the ground and a line to the top of the rainbow is always 42 degrees.
  3. Two standard packs of cards have 42 eyes (one each for the jacks of spades and hearts, and the king of diamonds; two for the other court cards).
  4. Forty-two men served as US presidents before Barack Obama. He is called the 44th president as Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms, so was both 22nd and 24th president.

Just some crap I picked up at random on the internet.

42 is the answer to everything because it is an answer. But it doesn't state it is the right answer everytime. Try answering every question with 42. quite funny. But some People might find it weird. just a warning

same thing applies for silence since it too doesn't state the right answer everytime, but sometimes is worth more than gold, ty for warning :)

1337/π * 10/l0l = 42.13666513 ≈ 42

I prefer 1337/100*π = 42,00309...
so obviously pi is wrong.

Explanation:
The calculation is about cosmology. As space-time has a curvature there has to be a pi, there are 100 dimension and the universe is leet.
If you do the series expansion of pi and take non Newtonian effects of gravity into account the calculation above is excatly 42.

Have a nice day :)

what is 1337 and how can you know how many dimensions are there to make that calculation?

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

1337 is leet.
The number of dimensions derives simply from MOND considering for quantum gravity and the non conservation of energy.

so, you just calculated an adjective with 100 dimensions to get the result for "everything"? XD

Because 4 and 2 are relatives and 4 is the square of 2 so if you put them next to each other you get either 24 or 42 but since 24 is already overused ( 24 hours in a day, 12*2=24 and we all know how twelves itself is overused yadda yadda) 42 is the alternative hipster choice!111 Did that make any sense? >>
