Surfer dude stuns physicists with theory of everything

[TimberWolf]

Yeah, and as soon as we figure out the meaning to everything it'll be game over. He's toying with us!

Now that we have the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life the Universe and Everything, i.e. 57, we still need to work the ultimate question.

"I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer".

57?

Which universe are you in?

57?

Which universe are you in?

It's Life, the universe and everything - with inflation.

57?

Which universe are you in?

Not the surfer dude's I suspect:

Is this the fabric of the universe?
At the most basic level, the calculation is an arcane investigation of symmetry – in this case of an object that is 57 dimensional, rather than the usual three dimensional ones that we are familiar with. Although this object was first discovered in the 19th century. there is evidence that it could contain the structure of the cosmos. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected...cpattern19.xml

Oh yes.

I find the idea of god easier to comprehend than 57 dimensions in space and time. Where do they all go? Is anyone hiding in them?

[TimberWolf]

God knows.

[A shed load of Daleks]

Oh yes.

[Mekon]

[Troll]

It's quite crowded in here really.

It's that Lord Lucan chappie, he takes up a lot of room.

Is Shergar in there too?

Here's something that could handle it:

"I speak of none other than the computer that is to come after me," intoned Deep Thought. "A computer whose merest operational parameters I am not worthy to calculate - and yet I will design it for you. A computer which can calculate the Question to the Ultimate Answer, a computer of such infinite and subtle complexity that organic life itself shall form part of its operational matrix. And you yourselves shall take on new forms and go down into the computer to navigate its ten-million-year program!
