According to the string theory, one string is supposedly 10^-35m in diameter. The universe is about 9.3 * 10^26m in diameter. To get the volume, (4/3)*pi*((9.3 × 10^26)/2)^3 or.. 4.2116034 × 10^80m.
How many strings would it take to fill the entire universe? 4.2116034 × 10^115.
42 septtrigintillion.
42. What a coincidence. |

actually it's 42 septtrigintillion, but.. close enough.

| Your maths are incorrect. My teachers say that you can't have a number greater than 9.9 repitan with powers. :D |

| Now we see how Deep Thought, the computer came up with 42. ' How many strings can be found in the universe?' is the ultimate question. |

>+2 cookies, you discovered how google picked 42.
It all makes sense now! Google's original division (Which later spread to earth as part of their quest for galactic domination) must have made Deep Thought.
Has anyone been to Google's HQ? Do they have pet mice?

Did anyone else actually check over his math? Because his answer has the unit of square meters (he took the volume of the universe and divided by the diameter of a string), and was off by 70 orders of magnitude. Now, if you're going to make some stupid joke about the digits 4 & 2 next to each other in the decimal representation of a number, you should at least do the math correctly
According to the string theory, one string is supposedly 10^-35m in diameter. The universe is about 9.3 * 10^26m in diameter. So, then, it is logical to get the radius of the universe, in terms of the number of strings that it'd have:
radius = 9.3 * 10^26 / (10^-35 * 2) = 4.65 * 10^61m
Then, you apply the formula for the volume of a sphere:
4/3*pi*radius^3 = 4/3*pi*(4.65 * 10^61)^3 = 4.2116034 * 10^185
Note the significand, and how you were off by a titanic factor. |

oh look 4 and 2 are still next to each other
FAIL MATH = 42 EPIC MATH = 42 |

Strings aren't flat. They might be lightyears long... Representing them with such small volumes is ridiculous. |

I fail to see how knotting wiggling or stretching changes the volume.

| This is actually very very general. I bet that book/movie got 42 because of what you did right there. |

According to the string theory, one string is supposedly 10^-35m in diameter. The universe is about 9.3 * 10^26m in diameter. To get the volume,
of the universe (4/3)*pi*((9.3 × 10^26)/2)^3 4.2116034 × 10^80m^3.
of a string (4/3)*pi*((10^-35)/2)^3 5.23598776 × 10^-106m^3.
How many strings would it take to fill the entire universe?
8.04356999 × 10^185
.. no 42... but you can multiply it by 5.22156! But that number has no significance... What purpose does 42 have? WHAT IS THE QUESTION? IS 5.22156 THE NEW IMPORTANT NUMBER? |

Once again, explain how it is only that big. I thought it was infinitely expanding? |
