→Forerunner population

People who claim Earth is overpopulated base that assumption on arable land and other resources, not living space. Remember that the entire population of Earth could easily fit into Delaware. Even given our current level of agricultural technology, places like the USA could maintain far higher populations. The Forerunner were incredibly technologically advanced, and it seems likely that they would have been liberated from the necessity of farming for their food by matter recombination technology (like Pohl's ''Gateway'' series) or by direct energy to matter transformation (like Star Trek), or some other means. Further, there is no reason to assume the planet in question is similar in surface area to the Earth. The planet could be much larger, and if it was less dense could have similar gravitation. It could also be the same size but have much more livable surface (fewer oceans, or inhabited oceans). | People who claim Earth is overpopulated base that assumption on arable land and other resources, not living space.

Those are some very good points. The only flaw i can think of is that you forgot to sign. [[User: | Those are some very good points. The only flaw i can think of is that you forgot to sign. [[User:Mr Toad|Mr Toad]] 19:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC) | ||
