its fake i decompiled the flash and it has deaths = Math.ceil(Math.random()*5))

meaning it randomly adds deaths, same for the born values but.. according to the real facts this might be somewhat accurate


The code i found
------------------------------
var deaths:Number

_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
deaths += Math.ceil(Math.random()*5)) <<<< lol fake
}

for (var i =0;i < randeath;i++){
showdeaths.text = deaths[i]
}
------------------------------

rest my case

Well, duh. The site itself says it's a simulation. Of course it's not actually monitoring the birth and death of every human being on the planet in real time. It just uses statistics to simulate births and deaths, and part of that simulation involves using random number generation to "predict" births and deaths. If done correctly, a computer simulation can provide an accurate and accepted model of a system. So it's not "fake", but it's not exact, because it's a simulation.

Disclaimer: I have done work in the field of computer simulation, particularly with a project called SWAN [1] [2], so I'm not talking out of my ass.
