Lightbulb The answer to Life, the Universe, and the Theory of Everything is 42.

Hi, my name is Robert and I live near Victoria, BC, Canada.

My father built the first computer in Canada in 1950. I programmed a bit of the OS of the first and only mainframe ever designed and built in Canada. I installed the first computer at the Toronto Stock Exchange in Xmas of 1963. Since then I have cofounded a couple of successful software companies and travelled around the world a few times doing software consulting for large and small companies. All the while, I was working for Ian P. Sharp Assoc. or Promis System Corp.

I think Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science may be the best approach to TOE and will look for it in these discussions.

Welcome to TOEquest.
"The answer to Life, the Universe, and the Theory of Everything is 42.”
I see you are also a fan of the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe".
Best regards;
Dave

It is from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

I hated the movie. For my taste it contained too much "british" humor.

This movie is not yet on in Spain. I'll see if I can get it anywhere in dvd or download it from internet.

The movie dose not do justice to the original TV series that came out before you were born.

I'll see in ebay and maybe buy that series you talk about, is it available in dvd?

By the way, can someone brieflly explain me what it is about, just reduced? Is it a toe candidate? or just a sum up of it all?
