I then uniformly redistribute the gap between to hit my target of half the 2017 population. I then calculated the gap between this new global population and the actual 2017 population. I assigned a uniformly-distributed random number (bounded between 0 and 1) to each country and multiplied it by each country’s 2017 population.

I downloaded population estimates for each country in 2017 from the World Development Indicators database at the World Bank. So, just for kicks, I simulated what the world’s population would like if you randomly killed half of the roughly 7 billion people on the planet. What would eradicating half of all life in the universe look like? I don’t know how many people live in the entire universe, but I can get estimates of the number of people who live on Earth. With the power from the Stones, Thanos plans on saving the universe by eradicating half of all life.

The Avengers fight Thanos, the intergalactic bad guy whose goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones and put them in this cool-looking metal glove. Okay, now that it’s just the rest of us, let me tell you about the ending of Infinity War.
