自从Douglas Adams的银河系漫游指南系列中给出42这个答案以来,似乎没看到一个合理的解释。这部科幻系列在西方如此风靡,甚至连google搜索“the answer to life, the universe, and everything”,也会看到结果=42。
It would also prove to be significant in confirming the connection between primes and quantum physics. Using the connection, Keating and Snaith not only explained why the answer to life, the universe and the third moment of the Riemann zeta function should be 42, but also provided a formula to predict all the numbers in the sequence.
