There are more humans in the world today
Than there were yesterday and there will be more tomorrow than there are today
Please consider the following.
The human population is growing very fast
I'd like to show you a famous way of looking at it.
We're going to generate a penny population of science
Take a look at this
We'll start with 1 penny
Then for every penny that's here we'll double it.
So thats two pennys
then four
...8...
then.....16 pennies.
And if we double 16 we get 32 double that 64 then 128....
we double that we get 256 then 512 then 1,024
And thats in 10 doublings
But if we double it 10 more times
we get a big number 1,048,576!
And if we keep going the number gets huge!
Almost unimaginably huge!
The pennies just keep adding up more and more!
Until eventually we got billions of them!
Just like we have billions of people living on the planet Earth!
Now when I was in fourth grade there was about 3 billion people on Earth
Now there's almost 6 billion
And by the time people who are in fourth grade now are my age there could be
12 or 15 billion
You see how fast populations can increase?
Well thank you for joining me!
