You may notice the first half of these instructions are similar to the instructions for a working nuclear fusion device. After the first few dozen steps, be sure to press down firmly and fold quickly to overcome fusion pressure.
Fun fact: if you do that 42 times, the piece of paper will be so thick it will reach the moon
1mm * 2^42 = 4’398’046.511104 km
Distance to moon: 405’500km
I’m sorry I ever doubted you. I shall immediately undo my downvote.
What kind of upside down ass country/region uses apostrophes for thousands separator?
The maximum number of times a piece of paper has ever been folded in half is 11, thanks to my boys Adam and Jamie. https://partsolutions.com/the-law-of-seven-is-it-impossible-to-fold-paper-in-half-more-than-7-times/
There was a girl who folded a piece of paper in half 12 times in 2002… Link
I think she didn’t fold it in half then half. Buy I’m not sure.
She did, after deriving the formula for the needed paper size. Also, the Mythbusters seemed to have used a steamroller, so I wonder if it was still a folded piece of paper, or more a block of paper similar to how damascus steel is made.
