World Population Chart

Tic-dock, tic-doc, tic-dock, and many children are born in the world. In that countless tic-docks of decades and centuries our mother earth has fed and sheltered 7 billion+ human mouths and heads. The race is still on with infinite tic-docks to come and go.

Are you curious to get the rough idea of your birth number on the human population chart? BBC has a chart to either scare you to a cabbage or to tease my pathetic mathematical aptitude. I hate math and even more when it takes the path of pure assumption. You'll just need to enter your date of birth to know your chest number for this life marathon you've already started....

Thanks to Aryabhatta, Brahmagupta, Archimedes, Euclid, Ptolemy, Rene Descarte, Newton, etc. human beings are now crazy enough to precariously calculate human heads just like that.

Anyways, I don't feel great when BBC has to pop display that I have seven plus billion brothers and sisters against the four plus billion when I was born. The saddest part though is the fact that I'll never get to know seven plus billion of them. Hold on, this doesn't mean I am an octogenarian or something. How many people can you know even if you are to live for 200 years? Few thousands?

BBC population chart suggests the period 1950-2000 are the most productive years in human history.

Does that scare you like the best horror movie you've watched???
