* Thanos\\\'s entire plan is rather easily debunked, especially based on how it\\\'s interpreted. Either he\\\'s only won the universe about \\\'\\\'35 years\\\'\\\'*, or he\\\'s doomed numerous species to extinction due to \\\'\\\'insufficient food\\\'\\\' since all living things eat other things that used to be alive. And since half of all life just turned to dust which faded into nothingness, [[WhatAnIdiot a whole lot of physical matter just stopped existing and significantly reduced the resources available to the rest of the universe.]] Of course this all came from a being known as the \\\"Mad Titan\\\" who referred to the concept as \\\"simple calculus\\\", apparently thinking the people he was trying to \\\"reason\\\" with had the calculation powers of quantum supercomputers. Never mind that what he means by \\\"resources\\\" is never really explained, and since we know it includes at least half of all animal life (since one of the signs that planned worked was two birds fighting over a tree branch), it seems to indicate he mean it in the most basic sense: minerals, water, and atmosphere. No matter how much life exists in the universe, there will be exponentially more of those than there will be biomass, and when put into an environment with insufficient resources most life forms will slow down on reproduction until things balance out; this is referred to at [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_capacity carrying capacity]].

\\\\* The amount of time it has taken for the current human population to get to where it is from when it was half; about 3.5 billion in 1980 to about 7 billion as of 2015.
