Ich hab jetzt noch ne ganz andere Theorie zur 47 gefunden:

The number 47 is used repeatedly throughout this series. This number is also used repeatedly in Star Trek - The Next Generation (a.k.a. TNG) and its' spin-offs Deep Space Nine & Voyager.
It is told that one of TNG's writers during college set up the theory that the number 47 is the most used number in the universe.
Kann da wer was zu sagen? Ich kann mich nämlich nicht an eine Häufung der Zahl 47 in Star Trek erinnern...
