So sometimes it's quadratic, once in a while cubic. Never exponential. Never, never exponential. Rid that of your mind! If there were infinitely many dimensions, exponential growth would be possible. There are not, so it's impossible.

So cells. Cells do not multiply exponentially. DNA does not move faster than the speed of light! Nothing in the cell does! It may look exponential but actually that's cubic, they're easily confused, along with a shitty excel library, and bad measurement, measuring it on the small side early on. And what else? A bad education, being told exponential growth is real.

But bunnies in Australia.

[daniel-cussen]

Yeah! Bunnies yeah, I had a math book when I was a kid and they showed Fibonacci numbers with bunnies, well actually a pervy old two-year rabbit with a sweet innocent one-year bunny, there has to be an age difference to set up the Fibonacci numbers. And that's still exponential growth, just with a lower base.

I bet if you actually had bunnies you could say fuck it they double every season and deal with them on that basis. You'd be wrong...but by how much, like get real? Plus the bunnies have the INTENTION of doubling, they each WANT to have lots of bunnies per season. I think that's the crux of it, despite the impossibility nature's program is exponential.
