Each time you fold paper, the number of layers is doubled.

0 folds = 1 layer (original sheet) = 20

1 fold = 2 layers = 21

2 folds = 4 layers = 22

3 folds = 8 layers. = 23

...

etc, all the way to 50 folds. In other words, the number of layers increases exponentially.

Following the pattern, If you could fold paper 50 times, the number of layers would equal:

250 or 1,125,899,906,842,624 layers.

Why can't a sheet of paper be folded more than eight times?

It is hard to explain, but it basically amounts to the size to fold ratio. A large enough, thin enough, sheet of paper can be folded more than eight times, but it has to be the size of a football field in order to do it. 128 layers of paper is a lot to fold in half to get to 256!
