Growth and aging are fundamental features of animal life. The march from fertilization to oblivion comes in enormous variety: days and hundreds of cells for nematodes, decades and trillions of cells for humans.1-4 Since Verhulst (18385) proposed the Logistic Equation - exponential growth with a countervailing linear decline in rate - biologists have searched for ever better density-dependent growth equations,6-12 none of which accurately capture the relationship between size and time for real an...
