Re: Important: For All Posters ( & Readers ) The One Million Dollar Question
Is there a lowest possible rate of multiplication for Humans to grow and multiply ?
​
That would be zero - no growth, no multiplying.
​
Unless you want to include negatives too? In that case, I suppose the lowest rate would be limited by the population size - you can't loose more people than you have.

Re: Important: For All Posters ( & Readers ) The One Million Dollar Question
The question is about possibility. It is like asking you, What is the lowest possible rate for Humans to keep on growing and multiplying.
​
Therefore, the answer to the Million Dollar Question is not zero or negative since zero or negative is not growing nor multiplying either.
​
Ah, then the answer is derived from the minimum amount of growth being n+1/n where n is the population size.

Re: Important: For All Posters ( & Readers ) The One Million Dollar Question
n + 1 is not a multiplication formula.
​
That doesn't matter.
​
The minimum amount that a population can increase over some timeframe is one individual.
​
Constraining the model to your "multiplication formula" is uneccessary.

Re: Important: For All Posters ( & Readers ) The One Million Dollar Question
There is no rate that can be measured if the addition of 1 takes place over some anonymous timeframe.
​
Description/specification of the timeframe or period of time is required.
​
Yeah, that's part of why your whole argument is wrong. Pick any timeframe you want, if the population only increases by one, then your equations don't work. That's because they are incorrect.
