I've discovered the answer to everything.

[SwirlyMass]

Take a look at what life is, its the experiences of part of a whole so we have life <whole, whole=whole so what does whole-life=?

Something else must be occupying the unknown part...so what is it? could it be death? I always thought of death as the whole however because when you die everything that was unique to you dies as well. so you are back at the whole, or nothing either of which wouldn't work in the equation because nothing wouldn't have any bearing and whole is already included in it.

for all we know life will one day encompass everything and the cycle will be complete. but i think the whole-life= part is being used for something else, it is the imbalance set forth in our universe. and the laws of universal nature say we must eventually balance out once again, either through the extinction of all life or the absoluteness of all life.


idk im rambling, but i get these little glimpses at what might be, how we are simply a tiny reaction taking place in a universe filled with greater things. and its hard to make a gamble at what any of those things might be.



life is strange my friends.

[SwirlyMass]

now im off to eat the chicken and steak burrito i just procured. i just wish i has some weed left to make it more enjoyable.

time to scrounge for floor buds.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

i discovered the answer to everything years ago. it's 43.

[Veratyr Star]

The answer to everything is "yes"

[Samwhore]

life is strange,

life is a giant puzzle piece, your happy when its complete, then pissed off when a piece is missing. wethere your finish the puzzle is up to you, then when you die, no one can finish your puzzle and your mission in life is to complete it

[SwirlyMass]

i seem to be talking above a few of your heads. my bad.


alot of people think like sam and frankly its frightening. thats just how "they" want you to think so you can work hard and pay taxes and fill that missing piece with cell phones and $25,000 trucks. which just perpetuates the cycle.

has anyone noticed how kids growing up have this insaitiable need and demand for cell phones and similar products. ive seen a two year old scream his head off until he was crying bloody murder just because he wanted to hold a cell phone and play with it. marketing? or human characteristic? i think its marketing that plays off of a human characteristic. little kids see people on TV and on the streets with cell phones and so they want them because they want to be like those people they see. only they dont know what its like to be those kinds of people so they end up spending their life trying to be something but they dont know whats its like and by the time they do they have accepted that its the only way and give up on what else could be.

actually, it depends, some lucky few can choose their pieces, you get to choose your experience in life, not "them"

but think about the people who dont "play the puzzle" its hard to see one of them successful

and back to my other post, your "puzzle" picture is what you want people to see about you, your picture relfects your life, a shitty picture- a shitty life, a beautiful picture- a beautiful life

[delusionsofNORMALity]

I could've swore it was 41.

no, i'm positive it's 43. i'll check the math again, just to make sure.

[Zimzum]

"I've discovered the answer to everything. "

You one of the 2 winners of the mega millions game?

[BoilerUp]

no, i'm positive it's 43. i'll check the math again, just to make sure.

Trust me, it's 42

[delusionsofNORMALity]

Just redid the math, I'm getting 420.

you forgot to carry the 9 and you're supposed to divide by 12 not multiply by 8. the real answer is 42.87465928365947943747....., but i've always just rounded it off to 43.

[afghooey]

The question is the answer.

[hello3pat]

Trust me, it's 42
The answer to Life, the Universe and Everything! Although we shall never know the question for if both the question and the answer existed in the same universe something very bad would happen

[mirvana]

Trust me, it's 42

yep.

doug adams says so.

no the math is Six times Nine equals forty two!!!


Six by nine? Forty-two? I've always felt that there was something fundamentally wrong with the Universe. -- Arthur Dent

Also it actually does equal forty two if you work it out properly, can you figure out how? who ever can gets some rep!

[DeepFriedBrain]

Live life, it's our purpose.
We are the senses of the universe.
Whatever we feel goes back to the creator.
Laughter is the prayer, love is a blessing.
God may know all the futures, but which future we pick is a mystery to him.
If God knew whether we would say yes or no in any given situation there would be no point in us existing.
The universe doesn't want us on our knees praying for forgiveness, just to get on with our lives.
You won the race, that's why you are here and not one of the other millions of sperm.
You won.
Now go feel some sunlight on your face, love somebody, and enjoy your prize you earned man.
Peace.

i understand what you mean, and agree completly. unfortunately most of people lives so immersed into this way of life to realize what youre saying. most of them will regard you as a dreamer, visionary, or just stoner, instead to realize you are right.
there is a proverb which says "in a land of blindmen who have one eye is king", but i prefer state it as "in a land of blindman who have one eye is crazy, because 'see things'... "
sad but true...

PS. For all the calculators, i dont know if its the answer to the universe, but i can assure 4.20 is the number of the enlightenment, wisdom and knowledge. :rastasmoke:

Fuck completing puzzles. A put together puzzle is the most boring thing imaginable. It's a picture, but crappier because there's all sort of lines through it. And all you want to do is tear it apart again. Because the entire point of a puzzle is putting it together, not necessarily finishing it.

Puzzles that are scattered across the floor in 80 pieces are far more interesting than a finished work. Particularly when there's only supposed to be 50 pieces.

Do people see that too? Completion be damned.

[MagicalHerb]

just for the record, i also believe (or would very much like to believe) that one day were all going to be able to see the whole and not just "us, us, us". id imagine it would have something to do with viewing dimension 3 as a whole through a greater understanding of dimension 4. how this would come about though, im not sure. but life is fucking weird. i always hate how my psyche loves to remind me how unstable life is and how i really can only see a tiny fraction of the big picture. to put that short, im unsatisfied with the limits of my mind. hopefully i will have a good life here, embrace death and see whats next without to much conflict.


I'm a prisoner of my own ignorence and emotions
I know nothing,
and trying to figure it out and trying to understand gets me no where
no where but wanting to kill myself

so i am done.
i'm done with existing
I am nothing
and it cost me my suffering and my life.

thats pretty depressing..i know how you feel though. totally. but dont fall victim to the shit your mind tries to get you to fall victim to. i have to constantly remind myself that and it only works sometimes. being depressed about life wont do you SHIT. go buy into some senseless crap for a while, raise your mood. then sit down in a peaceful quiet place, close your eyes and think about the problem. a joint would help with that, too.
or something like that :thumbsup:

I like the whole humans=Bacteria theory, We are just here to multipy, and we do whatever it takes to do so (work,fight,gamble,cheat,ect.). Herb is just gods gift to help us pass the time. . .lol

you would.

You work it out in base 13 (normaly we work math in base 10)

Trust me, it's 42

You're right... it's 42.... now we just have to figure out the question!:jointsmile:


Pleeeeez tell me some of you remember Douglas Adams.... :wtf:

I think too many people take that literally without really thinking it through.

We could be comparable to bacteria but just like them we have to have a certain environment in order to keep multiplying. So if a bacteria lives in a big glass of sugar water and eats the sugar eventually there will be none left. Thats true with humans too, but its more complicated, what if the bacteria excrete sulphuric acid but can only live in a basic environment? Eventually that critical PH is gonna pass the 7.0 mark and there gonna float belly up.

Thats more akin to the situation we seem to be in right now.







I've read every single douglas adams book ever published.

They are all really good. Then I started to like Kurt Vonnegut then I stopped reading after reading most of his books, hes a really good writer too.

indeed... i agree completly... but i also think humans are more like a virus which will keep multiplying itself and consuming all the resources of its host (the earth) until it dies... global warming, pollution, wars, are the signs the disease (us) is almost finishing its host, this beautiful blue sphere we call home... :(

[Wesley Pipes]

the secret to life... is to think of what you want, have faith that u will recieve it, and it will come eventually....

for example, if you think "i dont want any more bills"... then bills is what you will get, if you think "i want some cheques in the post" and keep thinking like this, believing in it, then thats what you'll get... over time... its up to yourself to try it out.... its called, the law of attraction ;)

i have only just found this out, through a friend, so havent had the chance to see if it works, but who knows.

You are born, you live, then die. Did your existence raise the frequency of the collective human conscience or lower it?
Did you bring more love into the world or not?
That is all.

[Dutch Masta]

What it comes down to is the origin of all origins. The origin beyond the origin of species, beyond the origin of molecules, beyond the big bang, the origin of existance, which simply cant be explained. Because from nothing, comes nothing. So that leaves us with the assumption that "something" was always here, which is equally as hard to grasp. This is where religion comes in. Even the original posters philosophy resembles reincarnation such as in hinduism. Various religions adopot, think up, and fabricate on other religions belifes in order to make that religion more desireable and creditable.

Also, youve already experienced what its like after death. Before you were born.

personally i fort it was 42 :p

Beyond big bang? should this be another thread?
If you think that everything is made up of trillions of calculations in any one instant, what would happen if there were no calculations.
To go back to the begining, before big bang there was nothing.
This includes mathematics, there was no 1+1=2, there was hovever 1 and another 1 and another and so on and on.
These 1's were made from energy created by probability and chance a + orbiting round a place it no longer occupies, a negativity.
It orbits round it's own gravity.
The whereabout's of the + in any one given moment cannot be calculated, as it's probability there, but there's a chance it's not.
So why did the Universe start?
The odds against it not existing were too great, eventually at some point a+ and a+ occupied the same space at the same time.
+plus+=2, which is different to all the other 1's, bigger and heavier with more gravity, and now there is also a space where 1 that had joined the other had been.
An inbalance, a shift, more are attracted to the heavier 2 them them selves now joining others as the mathamatics of chaos and order begin the foundations of the Universe.
So fast are the maths that they explode forth in a huge explotion of creation, all the 1's gathering forming the gases and elements of the Universe leaving, a void, a vacuum behind them.
Space.

If you want to do an experiment to show how this would look, you'll need some hot water, some fat or oil, an electric mixer or fork andsome washing up liquid.
Pour some oil on the hot water and mix til the oil forms tiny droplets.
Now drop a bit of the washing up liquid into the mix and wach how the universe was formed. (this is a two dimentional experiment).
Dark Matter?
Has anybody seen the ping pong balls with mousetraps experiment?
It was created to show how a chain reaction in chaos theory works
The floor of a room was filled with mouse traps loaded with a ping pong balls.
When one trap was set of the chain reaction was something to see, but not all the traps went off.
Could these left over traps represent the particles that were not part of the creation of the universe, and are now known as dark matter?
