If a microwaves waits 1 minute to beep to remind you to take your food out, then waits 2 minutes to beep to remind you again, then doubles the amount of time it waits in between beeps, how many times will it beep in 5 billion years (the time it takes for the Sun to destroy the earth)?
The answer will amaze you, exponential growth is faster than you think!
