@Sheril@mastodon.social It also requires humility before past generations and time. After all, the picture visualizes 300,000 years of history, of which only a fraction is known to us.

@Sheril@mastodon.social so satisfying when mind blowing data is visualised in widely understandable way. Thanks for sharing. Great graphic!

@Sheril@mastodon.social were we to consider the data generated by each side, the hourglass would probably stand inverted.

@Sheril@mastodon.social Alt text: Image of hourglass: Each grain of sand in this visualization represents 10 million people. [Top of hourglass] 140 million children are born every year. 14 grains of sand enter the hourglass. You are here. These 795 grains represent the 7.95 billion people who are alive today. [Bottom of hourglass] 60 million people die every year. 6 grains of sand pass through the hourglass. About 109 billion people have lived and died. 10.900 grains of sand. 1/2

@Sheril@mastodon.social curious about the origins of this visual model! A similar one is used in this animation: http://www.fallen.io/shadow-peace/1/ which I wrote about here: https://jonathangray.org/2020/05/06/the-data-epic/

@Sheril@mastodon.social I'm just trying to work out whereabouts in the lower glass you'd find that jerk, Ea-Nasir and his crappy copper.

@Sheril@mastodon.social It doesn't feel like that long since it passed 7bn. It was 2011. Maybe 9bn by 2031?

@Sheril@mastodon.social And > 70B land animals and 2-3 trillion sea animals are killed for food per year. It’s overwhelming to see this relation.

@Sheril@mastodon.social this is a beautiful illustration, but something oversimplified, if not exactly misleading. The number of people born and especially, as fixed nature of an hourglass suggests, the number of people dying are not constant. https://www.gapminder.org/topics/population-forecasts/

@Sheril@mastodon.social Wow - that’s pretty mind blowing.

@Sheril@mastodon.social what happens if we turn the hourglass upside down?
-
@Jollyspaniard@mastodon.green 2022-11-13 11:36
@Sheril@mastodon.social That's an excellent visualization. I was aware of many of these numbers but it's hard to visualize it.

@Sheril@mastodon.social Not sure why this is so spectacular. What happens when the top of the time glass runs out? What happens when the bottom is full? We don't have any proof of reincarnation, so the metahor just doesn't fit.

@Sheril@mastodon.social to a first approximation, there are the same number of neurons in a human brain as stars in a galaxy. And the same number of galaxies in the universe as humans who have ever lived. So every human neuron has a matching star.

@Sheril@mastodon.social Thank you the world data, very informative indeed!

@Sheril@mastodon.social To be fair, none of us know if we're at the top or bottom of the pile in the top part of the hourglass

@Sheril@mastodon.social I would not have guessed that so many had already lived and died.
