Grain yields and world supply in a single grain
A speculative calculation asserts that one wheat grain could, through successive doubling, produce an enormous global supply. If each grain yields fifty grains, and those yield further crops, the resulting total could theoretically supply ink earth for a lifetime, yielding astronomical figures such as 244,140,625,000,000,000,000,000,000. This prompts discussion on exponential growth and resource abundance.
