The Entire World?

Well, we do know that “He’s got the whole world in His hands” but did you know THIS?

The world population grows larger every year, but we aren’t exactly running out of physical space. In fact, all 7.8 billion of us could easily fit inside Los Angeles. 

Research has shown that you can fit about 10 people  into a square meter, crowded-elevator style; Los Angeles is about 1.2 billion square meters, which means that if we all squeezed together the city could theoretically fit around 12 billion people.

However, we couldn’t do much more than pose for a quick photo before going our separate ways, as there isn’t enough space in L.A. for everyone to actually live in such close quarters. 

Still, the sprawling City of Angels — which currently has a population just under 4 million — is big enough to theoretically hold the world’s people even as their number increases in the coming decades.

The United Nations estimates that there will be 9.8 billion humans in 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100, while the Wittgenstein Centre projects that world population will peak at 9.4 billion in 2070 before declining to just under nine billion by 2100.

Thank you “Interesting Facts” for these amazing thoughts!

Well, Los Angeles happens to be the City in which your Two Chums live – or very near to it. We cannot say enough good about it. Come visit sometime if you are from somewhere else. In fact, the Rose Parade in Pasadena will be happening on January 1, 2022, so it would be a fun time for you to come.

Enjoy these fun Holiday times. And as we always do, we remind you to hold on tightly to your JOY!
