If You Blended Up Everyone in the World, It Would Create a Meatball That Fits in Central Park

That’s a meatball that is about two-thirds of a mile wide or the equivalent of threeEiffel Towers.

Or, as kiwi2703 showed in a clever visualization, the sphere would fit quite easily insideCentral Park.

Though the idea of a human meatball is a bit gross, the exercise itself is pretty interesting.

So how much could this human meatball grow in the coming years?

RedditorIntoAMuteCryptused information from The World Bank toformulate an answer.

The World Bank and several other sources list a world population growth rate of 1.05% per annum.

Our 500m radius sphere becomes a 501.7439m radius sphereit’s grown by 1.7439 meters across a year.

Converting to seconds, it comes out at a little under 16 micrometers per second.

Not a lot, huh?

Some interesting food for thought, no?
