What does 42 mean?

"What does 42 mean?" This question comes from the British writer Douglas? Adams' novel series A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines 42 as "the ultimate answer to everything in the universe" and calls it "the answer to life, the universe and everything". The appearance of this number has caused readers to think beyond humor-perhaps the ultimate truth of life is the uncertain multidimensional complex "42".

In the Internet age, Room 42 has become a network proper term, which means the number of the blocked router. Because of the meaning of "42 is the ultimate answer to everything in the universe", this number is also used to imply that an obstacle will be the end of an event. The magic of this number has also led to a large number of content with the theme of "42" in online games and other fields.

In addition to novels and the Internet, 42 also has some magical mysteries in real life. For example, it is said that after the death of a clever Jew, the fortune teller adds up the values of the letters in his name. If the final value is 42, it means that the Jew is very clever. Although this statement lacks empirical evidence, it reflects people's mysterious worship of the number 42 to some extent.
