One in 7 billion; More than 1 person is born every second.

STATEMENT:
More than 1 person is born every second.

PROOF:
Do you know what the population of the world is today ie 2nd April 2011(this is concerning humans only btw)?
6,909,654,140 ie 6.9 billion ie 690 crores

What is the projected population at 2050?
Between 8 -10 billion ie 800 - 1000 crores!

Now let us assume that the world population of the world is 9 billion in 2050.
Net addition between 2011 and 2050: 9 -6.9 = 2.1 billion
Average addition every year: 2,100,000,000/ 39 =  53,846,000 ie 53.85 million
Number of seconds in a year: 365*24*60*60 =  31,53,6000 ie 31.54 million
Therefore, Average addition of humans per second = 53.85/31.54 = 1.7
But,
Net addition of humans per sec = Number of births per sec(b) - Number of deaths per sec(d)
                            1.7   = b - d
                            b      = 1.7 + d
                            b   >  1.7 ( we know that d > 0 )

Thus, we can conclude more than 1 person is born every second on an average.

FUN FACTS: 
1. If you had to shake hands with every person in the world and assuming you would take only take 1 second to shake hands with each person, you would have to be immortal and live for another 6.9 billion seconds ie 219 years!
2.Bill Gates who has a total net worth of $56 billion(2011) can afford to give every person on the earth $7 and still be left with a fortune of around $7 billion.
3.Our very own Mukesh Ambani is not doing too bad either. He has a net worth of  $27 billion(2011) and can be generous enough to give each person $3 and still be left with a princely sum which would be greater than $6 billion
4.To convert from million/billion US $ to crore Indian Rupee the formula is 
            1 million US $ = 4.4 crores INR (as of April 2011)
            1 billion US $  = 4400 crores INR
5. Per the recent census in 2011 India's population has increased to 1.2 billion per the latest census conducted in 2011 which means that 17% of the world is Indian.
6. This post has been structured in the same way that my mathematics teacher Mrs.Lata taught me to write proofs.
