If the paper was correct, we would have been overwhelmed by microbes or rats long before today, even the 60s. An almost deliberate joke is the choice of the date: it combines the classic unlucky couple with a rainy, odd month and a distant, even year. The next day, month or year break this evil combination although they contain almost the same population.

Where’s the doom?

Does a population of infinity suggest “get off my lawn” no longer works?

I suspect there would be no lawn as such, because a population of infinity would create a singularity wherein everything exists and / or ceases to exist. Possibly creating something new, but who knows?

Black hole made of humans, what a thought.

Hairy or not, that is the question.
