| Its clearly only half of the answer. The complete answer of the universe would of course be 42cm. |

| The article gives the answer to the question in the title in the first paragraph. This is really commendable. (Suspense is—wait for it!—overrated.) |
| |
| ▲ | dang a day ago | parent [-] | | We've replaced the magic title with the more informative subtitle now. Standard mod trick. | | |

| 42/2 |
| |
| ▲ | baxtr a day ago | parent | next [-] | | When I replied, the article had been posted 42 minutes ago and had 42 upvotes. That can’t be a coincidence. | | |
| ▲ | fragmede a day ago | parent [-] | | The people running our simulation are just fucking with us at this point. |

| Ah, so the answer to life, the universe, and everything was actually 42/2 … |
| |
| ▲ | simiones a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Is this going to be τ vs π all over again? | | |
| ▲ | o11c a day ago | parent [-] | | I recently did a bit of programming exploration using tau exclusively instead of pi (and `sintau` instead of the new `sinpi` function etc.) In almost every aspect this was far simpler, but there was the curious case of the constant `M_2_SQRTPI = 2 / sqrt(π)`. Even after looking up what weird formula that constant is used in, it wasn't at all clear to me where would be the most sensible place to put the constant. |

| Damn that's 42 / 2! |
| |
| ▲ | zhengyi13 a day ago | parent [-] | | ... so the question is "What is twice the magic quantum light length?" Doesn't seem all that great, but I'm probably missing something. |

| Chickens take 21 days to hatch and give us the most protein rich food you can eat. Does this mean that chickens are the magic creature of the universe? |
| |
| ▲ | wafflemaker a day ago | parent [-] | | Pretty sure newly hatched chicks are not the most protein rich food you can eat. But the crunch must be amazing. Is this why cows and horses eat them? |

| How many inches is that |
| |
| ▲ | imoverclocked a day ago | parent | next [-] | | It is 21.1061… cm worth of them. Fun fact, your computer is really good at answering this question for you. So is (say) Google Search. | | |
| ▲ | barbazoo a day ago | parent [-] | | Or an LLM, or even just using MacOS spotlight search autocompletes "21cm how many inches " to the right answer. |
