@whatif.physics3d: What if a protest doubled every second? One person with a sign at Place de la République. At ×2 per second, the riot police are outnumbered after 7 seconds. Then a T-rex joins in, but its arms are too short for the sign. The crowd copies its trick and it goes viral. By 22 seconds there's no standing room left on Earth: 1.02 quadrillion people at 2 per m², oceans included. How many seconds before it reaches your city? Numbers: France 69,066,000 (Insee, Jan 1 2026), world ≈ 8.3 billion. Everything after the first sign is a simulation. #protest #paris #exponential #simulation #whatif
