Oh, and had they started the 1 child law earlier, the population would be radically lower.

Plug that in during 4th gen and you loose 450 more, down to 1400 total.

3rd gen looses another 600 plus there would only be 150 couples for 4th gen. Meaning by the time the 1st gen started dying of aging, there population would be in retrgrade. Shrinking.

The science is terrible and the math won't fly. Sad thing is I am just an average guy, but taking less than 30 minutes I can expose the shoddy work by the author. Why couldn't she have spent that same 30 minutes to come up with something much better seated in science and logic?
