Is it possible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times?

nope ive tried it :( multiple times....Well, it depends on what you mean. Of course you can fold a piece of paper lots of times. What you can not do is fold a piece of paper in half lots of times.Your typical piece of paper is about 0.1mm thick. Each fold in half doubles the thickness, so by the time you have folded it 7 times it is 2^7*0.1 mm thick, that's 12.8mm, call it 1/2 an inch thick. And by then your piece of paper is rather small. If it started 8 1/2 x 11, it is now 11/8 x 17/8 inches, or about 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches. (ignoring the size of he folds)The next fold would make it 1 inch thick, and the outside of the fold would be a half circle 1/2 inch radius using pi/2 inches of paper, call it 1 1/2 inches. This isn't going to work.


What will happen if you fold a paper fifty times?

Very interesting... In theory, the thickness of the paper will exceed the earth-moon distance. This is because each time, you are increasing the thickness of the paper by two. So, the number of sheets of paper making the thickness is 249. But in practice, this is impossible to do. You cannot fold a paper even more than ten times.
