Essential Question

How long will it take to ask every person in the world one personalized big question?

Objective

To use modern age tools (i.e. Google, Microsoft, Twitter, etc.) to conduct a social experiment on a worldwide scale.

Procedure

1. Have one person start an experiment to answer this particular question.

2. Have other people participate in the experiment by sharing the experiment.

3. Have other people create similar experiments based off of this experiment.

Numbers

1 person asking 5 Big questions a day, 250 days a year, for 50 years

(((1*5)*250)*50) = 62,500 Big questions asked

1000 people asking 5000 Big questions a day each, 250 days a year, for 7 years

(((1000*5000)*250)*7) = 7,250,000,000 Big questions asked

Challenge

How can you help participate in the experiment?
