What If You Grew 1cm Every Second

β€’

One second, you're your regular size, the next, you're towering over a skyscraper. And some 40 years later? You're the size of a planet. Yeah, you've been growing. ASTRONOMICALLY. Soon, you'll become a human bridge between Earth and the Moon. That is, if you don't collapse into a black hole. Today, we've got you growing 1 cm every second.
