World Statistics, Details, Histogram ...

http://www.worldometers.info/
Very cool website. It shows almost all the details of the world like births,deaths,population etc thats happening at the moment.
Check it out for yourself.

The site is cool but I doubt anything on there is accurate. They probably work on some kind of time variables and change when the time comes. Nevertheless it is cool. That thing takes a lot of math to complete.lol. So as I'm speaking there are people dying. Wow!!! that's either amazing or sad.

It's using some kinda formulaes and java script for calculating the world population. I changed my system date to 2050 AD. The world population became something like - 10billion!!! but the #of births today/#of deaths today etc remained constant. Funny! Apparently the site designer forgot to use all variables in the worldometer program cheers!Ankush

They probably have some type of ratios like 1baby/1second born. Then they have it look at the time on your computer and calculates it by that. That's they way I figure it. I don't think it is fully accurate but it is a good estimation I guess.

Yeah, as was mentioned, it's a formula that plugs into the computer's clock. To be specific:

<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=current_population VALUE="5,840,000,000" SIZE=18>

Which is based on the engine code:

secsSincePop = Math.round(now.getTime() - may4.getTime())/1000

And follows with:

current_population = string(secsSincePop * 2.69 + 5965370016);

That is a neat site! I wonder how accurate the site it. I am sure it is close, but it can't update fast enough to keep track of everything.I like watching the numbers buzz by! You can barely read the end of some numbers!
