we barely scratched the surface here.
-
Because now think of all those people and think about
-
all the possible children they could have.
-
We got this number starting with a mere 5 billion people.
-
Imagine the number we would get if we then
-
calculated how many possible grandchildren we could have.
-
I don't mean that we could actually have all of those people at the same time,
-
but for each one there is a possible person
-
that could have existed.
-
You quickly end up with more possible people than
-
there are particles in the known universe.

And that was just two generations, right?
