https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/47 https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/47 > The number 47 makes frequent recurrences in dialogues and on computer screens in Star Trek. > The origin of the significance of 47 can be traced to Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager writer Joe Menosky, who attended Pomona College in California. There is a club at Pomona called The 47 Society, which claims that there exists a mathematical proof that all numbers are equal to 47. > Joe Menosky first started including references to 47 in his scripts in the fourth season of TNG, and the in-joke quickly caught on among the rest of the staff. Since then, references to 47 have been included in many episodes and movies of all the modern series.”
