42 is not the correct answer

Berlin – Dear readers, you know the answer “After life, the universe and everything else” from the novel “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. In the movie of the same name, the Deep Thought computing machine, specially built for this purpose by an extraterrestrial culture, calculates the answer as “42” in just 7.5 million years. For Deep Thought, the answer is “absolutely correct”. The machine explains that it is still unsatisfactory because the question itself was not specific. To define the question, Deep Thought wants to develop a more powerful computer itself, which also contains organic life in the arithmetic unit and is thus planet Earth. As you know, in the movie, our Mother Earth must give way to the galactic bypass and is blown up by the Cosmic Builder Fleet five minutes before the end of the program. Since then we have lived on Earth 2, a copy of our former Earth made by Foggons. Greetings from Glasgow.
