yes, the impracticality of folding a piece of paper the number of times I mentioned, effects a 'thought experiment' rather than a 'in real life' situation. A piece of A4 paper folded in half 42 times attains a 'height' that would reach the Moon (400,000km)...but a width that is subatomic in size. Having said that, a piece of paper sized half of Brazil's surface area (i.e 4million square kilometres), if folded 42 times, would have a final width of 1 metre.So much interesting factual information and about things I never knew. I'm going to bore the ass of my mates in the pub!
And about the paper and halving it apparently it's nigh impossible as a human being to actually fold and halve a piece of paper without mechanical assistance more than 4-7 times and that is dependent on the thickness and density of the paper eg. very thin paper/cardboard v toilet tissue.
I've tried the latter but my finger still goes through
….posting this in here (as well as old pictures thread). The original Edge Hill Station in Crown St was opened in 1830 and was the first passenger railway in the world. Built out of the rock and sandstone by Irish navvies using picks, many of the tunnels are still in use today;

Why get off at Edge Hill when there's a climax at Broadgreen?
