Well its a bit tongue in cheek for the universe I will give you that. But yea as you might have figured out you make the equation for combinations of things from discrete and abstract it to a generalized continuous function. So while no one is actually taking combinations of half a thing, the math still works out and is actually quite useful.

No it refers to the gamma function, the continuous form of the factorial function.
