We all know the answer is 42, but Palmer goes deeper into the numerological aspects of the answer and… the fourty-two texts of Hermes Trismegistus! (If you haven’t heard of Orbit Books, be sure to check out their website. They deal in some wonderful urban fantasy, fantasy, and science fiction materials that are full of story and campaign ideas!) http://www.orbitbooks.net/2009/11/19/the-meaning-of-life-you-read-it-here-first/ [...] [...] In the “not in the gaming community” category we have Philip Palmer from the Orbit Books Blog considering the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

I mentioned this in my recent book, Sun of gOd: "Most of the early astronomers were also astrologers, attributing spirit and personality to the Sun, moon and planets. The alchemist in Isaac recognized the spirit in matter, devoting more attention and pages to the subject than he did to his world-changing Principia Mathematica. Perhaps Newton’s unique ability to understand the mechanics of the physical world might have arisen from the greater time he spent in studying its spirit." Hermes Trismegistus, Copernicus and Giordano Bruno were right to regard the Sun as a living entity, still something of a blind spot for today's scientists. I explore it thoroughly in my book, and the implications are nothing short of seismic. www.sunofgod.net Looking forward to your spaceship design!

I now feel like I've *just* missed something, by *that* much. Ah well. Will look forward to those sexy aliens next week then. My 43rd birthday was Monday.
