I read over in the Astronomy QA that the pointee-heads figure half the human beings who've ever lived are alive today.
In another 20 years the numbers will be nearer 75 percent [assuming nothing causes a major rush to the exit signs].
So if we can hold out long enough doesn't this mean we can actually see a time when EVERYONE who ever lived is still alive?

It'd be like a rock concert in a stadium with no exits, huh.

I don't want to make it that long. Think of the over crowding, the lines at the gas stations and markets. Not to mention the movies. The population would be 99% seniors. I don't there will enough S.S. to go around. Tell those pointy heads to go refigure.

Well - Elvis is, so perhaps you are onto something!
Plus everytime I look in the mirror I am convinced I died and have been dug up again!
Don't let that put you off - I bake a mean Christmas Ecklefeckin Pudding - all Mummy's can!

Interesting concept. A bit depressing though. I think about some of the people I would never like to see again. I do think it could make for an interesting pecking order.

If things start looking like they are headed that direction, we can count on our government to create a rush to the exit signs, they always have.

Expotentially that is impossible! Five humans are born every second and two die so thats three born every second. We are at 6 Billion+ now.
