==== Let’s say magic overrides physics and it keeps doubling anyway. Then one of these must happen: ====

===== - Matter is limited, so each time you double, each person must use less mass. =====
* Eventually each “person” would have: - Fewer atoms - Then fewer particles - Then less than one particle’s worth of mass
* You’d end up with something like: >

At some point the concept of a “person” stops making sense: there isn’t enough matter or energy to give them bodies.

===== If instead each person stays full-sized and the count keeps doubling: =====
* They’d have to occupy the same space.
* That means: - Densities go insane. - Mass per volume skyrockets.
* Very quickly, the stuff in that region would exceed the density needed for a black hole.

Result:

: 

So “continuing to double” with real-sized humans basically forces space to collapse under its own mass.

===== Beyond a certain point: =====
* You’re demanding more people than particles, more mass than exists, and more information than spacetime can encode.
* That’s straight-up impossible by: - Conservation of mass-energy - Quantum limits - Information density limits (like the Bekenstein bound)

So the honest answer is:

:
