It is true that the earth has more hard surfaces than we can produce pads for. Maybe.
But I don't think it holds that the earth equates to the world. The world is all the places that we as a collective exists in. And I am not so sure we wouldn't be able to build a padded cell big enough to stuff all the people into, then that would become our world. Purely a philosophical reasoning though.
So the question really comes down to that you possibly meant* the earth when you said the world, and I took it as an abstract construct that equals the place we live.
* Again; I make assumptions, it's a great character flaw.
