I assume this finding supersedes the previous discovery that the answer to everything is 42.

Or, the answer to everything is my spouse!!

Doughnoughts for all!

o0oO0()o0O!

Bring your own noodles.

42 is only the 74th and 75th digits of Everything!

Try the rock video MPEG at the googolplexth digit!

How do irrational and decimal numbers fit into this system?

I prefer the British Museum algorithm. The program, well suited to beginners, sets up a 72-character string of blanks. Drawing from the standard character set on the key, it systematically replaces one character at a time and prints the line. It continues until it has all possible combinations.

This method will produce all texts that have ever been written in our alphabet. Moreover it will produce all such texts that will ever be written. That does include all questions for which the answer is 42.

Clearly this program will provide all knowledge, including summaries and detailed expositions. We leave the task of editing to the interested reader.

The number is a program for a universal turing machine, specifically a reprogrammed pocket calculator, the HGG, if you will, which is indexed by exponents and spigot algorithm, thus does not need to be stored. It's program just accesses it's data, neither being stored except in the land of Pi.

Since everything is binary, go figure out for yourself how to calculate irrational numbers in decimal on a UTM.

The number skips the time consuming process of counting and testing each possibility. It is the final output of a BM algorithm. For example, the Music Player program has an index (a starting place in the number), and contains a few Kbits which are already in the number. The music program contains an index to a list of songs and their indexes, which also are in the number. The number is not stored because it can be fetched a digit at a time and THIS IS NOT A COMPRESSION ALGORITHM. It is a library with a card catalog inside, and yes, a lot of trash. Not really trash, just stuff we don't know the format of. This proves nothing is random.

Knowing where the library is doesn't immediately give you access to the information in the books. The card catalog doesn't contain the information in the books, just where they are. The library contains the books. Behold, a library without paper, in Pi-land!

A calculator or PDA can make full use of this number by:1.addressing individual bits by digit number (index number)2.instantly indexing any existing data file as a functionof the data in the data file.3.indexing the indexes of known data files as a "card catalog" file4.to facilitate indexing, there is a rounding function which instantly finds the beginning of a file, thus the index can be off by the whole length of the file.

Recall that the number is not stored anywhere except for the currently indexed bit, nor need a whole file be, thus there is no copyright infringement.

Note the library analogy extension... once you've indexed the book from the card catalog, you index individual letters by page number and character number. These are trivial indexes that need not even be processed.

The sum of all knowledge will never be within man...the accumulative progressive sum of all knowledge exists in the fourth dimension...which man has oddly enough named God & has attributed it/Him incorrectly to be a super being with superpowers.

See Transcendology

I agree with the point you are trying to make. God exists beyond our understanding, and the correct description of the number is the sum of all HUMAN knowledge. Mr. Spock (from Star Trek) would be astounded by what we have derived from Logic in the form of the Computer and the stranger forms of multimedia. ... I am aware of more than 4 dimensions, and even 30 dimensional math even though string theory limits the universe to 26 dimensions. Of course I can not visualize the 30 dimensional object that I am aware of. ... It is my opinion though that anything that ends in "-ology" or "-ism" is a case of believing in an imaginary philosophy. However, God has established [his] existence by naming himself "I AM". And for certain all translations and permutations and encodings of scriptures and holy or sacred texts ever written can be found in the number 0.12345678910111213...".

I am pleased to announce the discovery of a virtual googolbyte hard drive based on this number. As you know, a googol grains of sand would fill up several normal sized universes. Which makes it very impressive that upon multiplying 0.12345... by a googolplex we now know the first 20 million digits and More than the "last" 45 digits, are: 102132435465768799102132435465768799102132435.465768799102132435465768799102132435465768799102132435...!

This works so simply that a programmable calculator can do it instantly. Find useful needles in imaginary cosmic haystacks with math-magnets, that is. I am happy to donate the "sum of all knowledge" in sorted order to humanity. I figure that more than can fit in the whole universe, even if it were full of hard drives, is plenty. This is like a portable infinity.

Regarding the evolving "answer" to the question of Life, the Universe and Everything...

It seems to me that 42 is more efficiently referenced as the 4th and 2nd DECIMAL places of Everything, or alternatively, the 6th and 4th DIGITS when expressed as you did, Everything=0.12345678910111213... counting from the left, and including the quite significant .

To card-catalog It, however, we still need two digits, e.g. 42 or 64

Future work along this line will likely be done counting base 2 rather than 10, to "ease" calculations i.e. 011011100101111... or backwards ...111101001110110 or backwards and sideways ...||||||||||||||| or using the smallest dots we can make ...............et cetera

For more complex visuals I would need to link-in multimedia components to this comment, something that is easily done on the evolving stream I just started from this comment here, on evolvethis.com

I propose that the machine figured out that there were multiple equally-accurate answers to the Question, in fact, as your work here describes, a portable infinite number of them (we each get one). The path of our questioning (as best the superest computer ever made could communicate to the humans that asked) may still lie down the path of intense analysis of the number fourty-two and its place in the randomness, but I have a suggestion that, to me, seems like a lot more fun.

I figure that the bits of the Everything that I filter out of life, bookmark for others and share in a lasting fashion make up my legacy, my life story stream as viewed from the collective mind beyond time.
