Pro Tip 1/3Sudden Impact
Conveys a dramatic change that affects developments or expectations significantly.
Her idea had an exponential impact on the project's success.
Pro Tip 2/3Intensity
'Exponential' suggests a level of increase that is much steeper than 'fast' or 'rapid'.
The company's profits showed exponential growth last quarter.
Pro Tip 3/3Not Linear
Clarifies that 'exponential' is not a simple, steady increase. The rate itself speeds up.
The population of the town is growing at an exponential rate.

And this turns out to be one of our most important defense mechanisms against cancer. In fact, if you actually block angiogenesis and prevent blood vessels from ever reaching cancer cells, tumors simply can't grow up. But once angiogenesis occurs, cancers can grow exponentially.

It began to expand about a million, billion, billion, billion billionth of a second -- I think I got that right -- after the Big Bang. Gravity separated away from the other forces. The universe then underwent an exponential expansion called inflation.

it means more humus is produced, it means more food so the forest can grow still bigger. And this forest keeps growing exponentially. Once established, these forests are going to regenerate themselves again and again -- probably forever.

Search as a paradigm will continue to be probably even increasingly important because the information that's out there is only going to grow exponentially - and the only way to sort through all that is by some form of search.

Neil Turok
South African Physicist
If the universe sprung into existence and then expanded exponentially, you get gravitational waves traveling through space-time. These would fill the universe, a pattern of echoes of the inflation itself.

When technological advancement can go up so exponentially, I do think there's a risk of losing sight of the fact that tech should serve humanity, not the other way around.

It is not enough to receive support, no matter, how needed it may be. It is fundamental to know how to receive this support and ensure that its result is exponential.
