It's a plot point in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that they discover that the answer to life, the universe, and everything is "42"!. It's not supposed to mean anything, it's a joke!. That's just Douglas Addams doing what he does!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I dont think there is a single answer to everything in life and the Universe, nor are there just 42 answers!. I believe that the world and universe are so complex that they are possibly as many answers as there are stars and galaxies!. And probably some of the answers are half-complete ones, due to the lack of technology and human intelligence!. Who would know the answers to: the most distant galaxy, the shape of the Universe, its boundary or when it would stop expanding!? Right now it is just speculations and theories, and many of them keep on changing, so we can never know the Truth, the real answers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Each person shall find it's own answer to life, universe and everything!
Some seek these answers through religion, some may be contented that they are comfortable with their conclusions, some may never find these answers!.

Humanity will for ever seek these answers!.
!. !. !. !. !. !. We will never have all the answers as this what derives us as species, to seek answers!. It is curiosity that has led us to where we are today!.

If ever comes a time when we have all the answers, humanity will cease to exist, as there will be NOTHING to strive for!Www@QuestionHome@Com

What else could it be!?! 57 is way too big, and 23, well, it just didn't score that good in the boxoffice!. Plus, it's not in the Fibbonachie's system, it's not a prime number, it is not perfectly dividable with 2 - the number is totally neutral, and out of so many simmilar numbers, it is randomly chosen - it's perfect!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Life, the universe and everything is not a question!.

42 is not an answer!.

People who tell you this have simply been taken in by Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and if I were you I would never trust them again!.

"Because" isn't a sentence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The answer to everything is LOVE! not some number!.!.
It's just like that movie!.!. Number 23!.!.
Try to find that is good for you, not something that cannot help you and get on with your life!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The answer lies within you, only you and no one else!. Thus the answer can be any thing between now and just now!. With the just, just too much or too little!.
Peace!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You should explain where you got the 42!.

Typically the answer to a "Why!.!.!." question is simply "Because!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is something not even Cherubs or Seraphs can contain in their vast wisdom!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Only Lord can answer this one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
