Fold the sheet of paper 103 times, you get a stack of paper more to the Universe Bashny.Net

No piece of paper can't be folded in half more than 8 times. (Actually the current record is already 12 times, it belongs to Britney Gallivan). Reality: If you have a large enough sheet of paper and enough energy to fold – you can fold it many times. However, there is one problem: If you fold it 103 times, the thickness of the paper stack exceeds the size of the known universe is 93 billion light years. Seriously.


But as the sheet thickness of one-tenth of a millimeter may be more to the universe? The answer is simple: Exponential growth. The thickness of the middle sheet of paper is 1/10 of a millimeter. If you perfectly fold it in half, its thickness will double. But then things get really interesting.

The third fold will give you the thickness of a human fingernail.

Seven folding – and you will get the thickness of a notebook of 128 pages.

10, the thickness of the paper will be approximately the width of the palm.

23 and you will receive the paper stack height in kilometers.

30 folding will lead you into space. At this point, your piece will have a height of 100 kilometers.

Continue to fold. 42 folding will bring you to the moon. 51 – and you'll be in the Sun.

Now quickly scroll to the 81st fold and get a stack of paper thick 127.786 light years is almost equal to the diameter of the Andromeda Nebula (which is about 141.000 light years).

90 folding will give 130.8 million light years is more than Supercluster Virgo, which has a diameter of approximately 110 million years. Supercluster virgin contains the local galactic group, which includes Andromeda, our own milky Way, and about a hundred other galaxies.

And finally, at 103 folding you will go beyond the observable Universe, the diameter of which is estimated at 93 billion light years. published
