About The Answer Is 42

It's not just an answer, it's a way of life! In a world where the meaning of life, the universe, and everything is 42, you'd think we'd know better than to ask.

But ask we do, and the answer, much like the meaning, eludes us. Or does it? Maybe the truth is, the answer is not just a number, but a state of mind.

Or maybe it's just a really good joke. You know, the one about the mathematician, the physicist, and the philosopher walking into a bar. The bartender says, 'What's the meaning of life?' The mathematician says, 'I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's 42.' The physicist says, 'No, no, no, it's 6.02 x 10^18.' The philosopher says, 'I'm not sure, but I'd like to discuss the concept of existence in relation to the cosmological constant.' The answer, of course, is 42. Or is it 6.02 x 10^18? Or is it just 42, but also 6.02 x 10^18?
