Is a newspaper large enough to fold in half 32 times about the height of Mount Everest?

No, in fact it is almost impossible to fold a piece of paper in half 7 times (you can try), because most of the paper folded in half after 7 folds is already larger than the original area of the paper. In fact, it is related to the thickness of the paper, if the paper is infinitely thin (the thickness tends to be 0), then the thickness is still 0 if you fold it 100 times. Here's a bibliography for you:

A piece of paper can be folded in half a few times at most, which seems like a boring problem. You might say that if you give me a piece of paper that's big and thin enough, I can fold it 100 million times. This is true, theoretically it can be folded countless times.

But in real life, if you take a piece of paper and test it yourself, you will be surprised to find that it is generally difficult to exceed 7 times, and at most 8 or 9 times. It is said that the most recent world record is 12 times (that is, the supergirl in **). One can't help but ask, why is it so difficult to fold a piece of paper in half after only a few times?

Let's analyze it: 1) Each fold must be folded in half with the radius of the previous thickness, which needs to consume the length or width of the paper. 2) Any material is elastic when bending, and when the thickness reaches a certain level, it needs a certain length to be folded in half, otherwise it will be broken.

3) Paper folded n times in half is much more elastic than paper that is simply stacked with the same number of layers, and its thickness cannot increase in a way that theoretically 2 to the nth power. Therefore, after a certain thickness, it is very difficult for human hands to fold. 4) The one-way folding formula is deduced through practical verification, the diameter of the unit circle is , and the length consumed by folding a piece of paper once (folded into a unit circle) is set by using the limit method (the diameter of the unit circle is a benchmark unit q(q=).

n is the number of folds, and l is the length of the paper consumed. According to the following reasoning, the formula for one-way folding of origami can be obtained: l= +4)*(2 n-1) 6 q 2q 3q 4q 5q 6q 7q 8q 9q 10q ...

1 ..l = If a thick piece of paper is folded in half 21 times, then its thickness reaches more than 100,000 kilometres (the distance between the earth and the sun is tens of thousands of kilometres). It's hard to imagine that a thin piece of paper can reach such an astonishing thickness after only 20 folds.

There are many little-known things in life that are actually all around us, and as long as you are good at observing and analyzing, the fun is naturally wonderful.

Fold once for (2 primary) layers, fold twice for (2 quadratic) layers, and triple for (2 cubic) layers,......Fold it in half 30 times for (2 to the 30th power) layer.

Because the thickness is, after folding 30 times, the thickness is.

2 to the 30th power multiplied by centimeters, a bit difficult to calculate, you can use a calculator to calculate, if you don't know how to calculate 2 to the 30th power, you can ask me. In fact, it is 30 2s multiplied.

Mount Everest seems to be 8,844 meters above sea level.

Divide the thickness by the elevation of Mount Everest!!

The algorithm has already told you here, so it should be forgotten, right?

2 26* = meters.

2 27* = m > m.

Therefore, it can be exceeded by folding it in half 27 times in a row.

A newspaper is only centimeter thick, but after being folded in half 30 times in a row, the thickness of a newspaper will far exceed the 29th power of Mount Everest multiplied by 2 times and then multiplied by 2, that is, the height after 30 folds in half, which is definitely more than Mount Everest!

Fold in half once and the thickness is.

Fold in half twice for a thickness.

For these three times the thickness is.

And so on with the coarseness, the thickness of these 30 times is far more than the high combustion roll of Mount Everest.

But it's impossible to fold the newspaper in half 30 times, so such a thing won't be stupid.
