not sure how they got number how many lived in our world from start of time.

It involves a lot of hypothesizing and statistical modeling which is to say that the researchers reached deep into their collective rectums and pulled out a number

That is not a science website, it’s a clickbait website.

That being said, the earth’s population has more than doubled in just my life so it seems like a believable claim, basically the reverse version of that old exponential math problem where a kid asks for an allowance of only a penny a week but it has to double every week causing his father to owe him millions by the end of the first year.

Week 28 the dad owes $1,342,177.28 the previous week was $671,088.64. Wk 52 = $22,517,998,136,852.50 (less then the US national debt but pretty close)
