About 109 billion people have lived & died. Each grain of sand represents 10 million.

This stunning data visualization of human life by Max Roser was published in 2022.

Today there would be 805 green grains representing 8.05 billion people living on Earth. #science #art

@Sheril this is why I don't believe in ghosts. There would be way too much ghost noise evidence and chatter. It'd be really annoying.

And why would they stay on earth? I'm a ghost now? Send me to effing space! I'm gunna be a space ghost!

@NerdRage42 @Sheril Especially if ghosts don't affect to physical world what would keep them here? Earth moves 107 000 km/h (= 67 000 mph) so they would disappear to space immediately. And since also Sun and Milky Way move, we'll never return to the same place.
