One Percent is a short essay I posted on the Macrophile.com discussion boards in order to illustrate just how fast exponential growth rates can be. How big would I grow if I got 1% taller every minute? The answer is probably bigger than you'd guess!
This is more of a short mathematical essay than a story, but I still think it's a fun read. It's also the first thing I ever dared to put out in public. I remember checking the math over and over, dreading making a mistake!
