And in the movies the life forms don't limit division, and probably exhausted the food (hence the barren planets they come from).

- nonbel 8y agoThe mass of the earth is ~6e24 kg[1]. That would require 133 divisions: 2^(133)*1e-15 = 1e25 which works out to under two days. I'm just saying that life can grow very fast under the right conditions... Do you really want it to be able to grow faster than go from a single cell to the size of the earth in 2 days?

- jmount 8y agoNo, I don't believe I said that. I think I mentioned it would be bad in the first note. It just is if something could do that in general conditions it is an absorbing or end-state.
