[edit] Big fold

Scrub that last one - factor of 1,000 out. My bad and my apologies..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.79.113 (talk) 15:29, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

One of the reasons why high-fold-count paper folding is so difficult is that the height, and thus width of the paper required and height of the successive folds, grow exponentially. Folding a piece of paper in half 100 times, if it were possible, would produce a stack of paper approximately 8×10²² miles in height,^[4]...perhaps a tenth the size of the universe.

I think this belongs in the mathematics of paper folding article more than here. It is a thought experiment about the mathematics of paper folding.sinneed (talk) 16:39, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
