Do you think there is a FINITE number of human beings?

Question

I mean TOTAL ever like in a "box" if I gathered up all the humans who would ever live could I place them in a box? like marbles....

Further thoughts would relate to the notion of for each particular Mr.marble there is a "mrs marble" : ONE AND ONLY ONE for each person... this is a theory I have about a very COOL DESIGN if it is applicable...

Answer 1

Yes.
I'm gonna try to be as simple as possible:
If you mean a finite number of phenotypes and genotypes, because someway or another it has to finish a cycle.

Answer 2

Any system has something called a "carrying capacity" which is the absolute max number of something that can survive in an area. This holds true for humans on earth. So the answer is that there are currently a finite number of humans, and that there always will be.

Answer 3

Right this very second? Of course.

If you mean for all time future and past? Absolutely. Eventually the universe will cool down so that life is impossible. Humans will be dead long before that anyway. So the number of humans is NOT infinite.

Answer 4

it depends on how fast the supermarket line is moving. at a concert, I think they are selling tickets to the unborn ahead of me. And don't even start about the DMV or other GOVERNMENT offices

Answer 5

Every number is by definition finite. Infinity is not a number.

Answer 6

There are indeed. At any given moment in time, there are a countable number of humans.

Answer 7

At the DMV, no. Is that place ever empty?!

That line goes on forever.

Answer 8

No.
