Is this science tho? More like statistics if anything. I don't see any hypotheses being tested.

You could call this a meta analysis

why does this have to be science though? Also it's stochastics, not statistics.

58% of you watching this video right now will not be alive next week.

It's just a fact that the population halves each week.

I've fudged the numbers a bit. The other 50% is me. The week is also slightly wrong. You will die tonight, Carolyn.
