What, exactly, it is varies DependingOnTheWriter, but it's generally a mathematical formula for complete mind-control. Somehow. The Anti-Life Equation essentially "proves" that life is meaningless. It is the counterpart to the Life Equation, which is the proof that life ''has'' meaning.

After [[spoiler:Maniwa]] goes crazy and the old man is incapacitated, he takes up work on the equation. The last shot of the series is [[spoiler:Maniwa]] finally completing the equation and gasping. [[RiddleForTheAges What the equation represents is never stated]], though a [[EpilepticTrees popular fan theory]] is that [[spoiler:the Lil' Slugger scenario is a ViciousCycle]].

* ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' once introduced the Inverse Hat Law as a measurement of WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief:
-->In the olden days, the believability of an alien planet in ''Doctor Who'' could be measured by the equation ''T = n ÷ h'', where ''T'' is the time is minutes until viewer credulity snaps; ''n'' is the on-screen population of said planet; and ''h'' is the number of hats worn. The Inverse Hat Law means that if everyone is on a given planet has something distracting on their head, there’s no point in trying to tell [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E2Meglos a considered story about global extinction]]. (You can, however, have some fun with [[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E4TheAndroidsOfTara android princes and crazy weddings]].)

Science and mathematics are awesome. Lots of concepts we know from nature and real life can be described and explained with lovely equations and elegant formulas. Think about those gorgeously complex representations of organic chemistry... No wonder some characters get certain ideas and start thinking that ''everything'' can be explained with complex calculations or that everything can be reduced to a refined formula.
