Apparently a scientist in Dan Brown's latest book says "We have scientifically proven that the power of human thought grows exponentially with the number of minds that share that thought." OK, let's leave the question of the power of human thought on one side. I'm cool with a bit of psychokinesis, for example. But "exponentially"? So if, say, Uri Geller can bend a spoon, two Gellers can bend two spoons, but three Gellers can bend four spoons, four Gellers can bend eight spoons and twenty can bend a gigaspoon. Get a hundred together and you could probably shift a planet.

I would chalk it up as another word Dan Brown uses without knowing the meaning.
