...So if both the mean AND standard deviation of the universe is 42, then there's an excellent chance that it's NOT actually 42! Assuming that the null hypothesis is μ=42 and the alternate hypothesis is μ≠42, I wonder if the arbitrarily chosen 99% confidence interval contains statistically significant values that disprove the null hypothesis? Time for a T-test!

Is the answer to life really 42? I believe that is THE QUESTION.

Has anyone read "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov?

It's an amazing short story. You can probably read it in a few minutes:

Interesting. It adds a justification for my frequently fatalistic attitude.

I would like to do one with hard edges next. Maybe a *mumble mumble mumble* would work.
