It's quite interesting, really.
How many times do you think you can fold a paper?
Seven times at most. Try it.
Just imagine, how thick would the folded paper become after folding for, say, 50 times?
Let's think of this using our math knowledge.
Standard paper size - 0.05mm.
Every time the paper is folded, the total height is the current height times two.
So... Total height = 0.05mm X 2^(times folded which in this case is 50)
You'll be surprised with the answer.
And guess how far is the Sun is from Earth?
Guess what happens if you fold the paper for 51 times?
Cool.
