Linear Vs Exponential GrowthWe saw how folding paper 46 times can reach us to the moon – that is exponential growth. To reach the moon with a ladder (assuming 20 cm steps) would take about 1.92 billion steps – that is linear growth (additive growth) Similarly If your stride is 1 meter, 30 linear steps will take you 30 meters from the starting point. With a 1 meter stride, 30 exponential steps will take you 26 trips around the world!Exponential growth is hard to predict. That is why we should focus on that Now, let’s focus on the chapter
