I've seen the #avangers infinity wars twice now, but I still don't get #Thanos plan. Maybe someone who read the comics could help?
I understand he wants to kill half of the population in each planet, but:
* Are the lifeforms going to be like half of each species by individual, by the kilo..?
* Or will it be half of the total life, so it wouldn't matter how much of each species is present?
* Is he considering viruses a form of life?
* Will be half of each age, for example half of kids, half of adults, half of old people..?
* Will it be randomized in terms of location? For example, half every x square meters?
So many questions...

@arteteco
* by the kilo might be...gruesome?
* I think it's total life? Maybe sentient life.
* Doubt it, since he didn't kill plants, and those are arguably more alive than a virus.
* Shouldn't matter, statistically. Half of the elderly, plus half of the middle-aged, plus half of the young, should be the same as half of the whole, when choosing randomly.
* See above

* Well, groot is admittedly more of a plant than is a human, and he was gone anyway. How does he tell the two apart anyway, considering how many kind of beings there are in the universe?
* Age matters a lot. If a population has very few young ones, by halvening them you are getting them on the verge of extinction, with possible terrible consequences on the environment (therefore the life he tries to save)
* sentient life is a good answer, I'd be curious to know where he draws the line though. I haven't seen 3 kgs of gut bacteria coming out of those who were disintegrated in the movie, so I was inclined to think both
As a disclaimer, I started as wanting to make a graph on the population dynamics if we really killed half of all the beings, but couldn't with so little infos
