Later that week, I tried to replicate the experiment using a paperclip bent in a “U” shape. I instructed my parents and younger sister that I would lightly touch the two ends of the paperclip on various areas of their body (fingers, palm, arm, back, leg, etc...).

Human population is rapidly growing throughout the world, and just within a time span of five years, the world’s population has shot from 7.3 billion people to the current 7.9 billion people.
