IS IT POSSIBLE TO FOLD PAPER IN HALF MORE THAN SEVEN TIMES, USING A HYDRAULIC PRESS

I was waiting for him to fold and then unfold it at the end to prove it’s not ripped

[@martinwnek2158]

I can explain this equation :). It's the ratio of paper thickness to it's size. When you fold the paper on half it's gets thicker 2 times, when you fold it again it's 4 times thicker, then 8, 16, 32 and so one. When you fold it 10 times it's 512 thicker. If you have 2 times thinner paper you can fold it one more time having the same thickness at the end. 2 dimension layer of graphene has 0,000 000 335 mm thicknes so you propably can fold it 23 times until it reaches 1,4cm of thickness. The smallest distance according to physicist is Planck constant (0, 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 6m ) and it's the resolution of our space.

Well, after the 7th folding, you have 2^7=128 layers of paper. After the 8th folding, it is 256 layers. The size of the paper doesn't matter, the bend is local, and that's where the 512 layers tear apart because of the thickness.

Sounds about right. It's only folding if you can manage to unfold it while having the paper remain completely intact

Eh, more or less. The issue is that paper isn't infinitely thin, so all the folds have width. It's hypothetically possible to fold it more than 7 times. You just need an absolutely massive sheet of paper to account for the folds. Here, the press was essentially ripping the paper to cheat and make it look like it was folded thinner

It was on that moment, when the paper had been folded seven times and had been placed on the hydraulic press... Alarms began to shriek as the pressure mounted. Sparks flew from actuators and junction boxes. The legendary eighth fold... The impossible fold, it was happening. But would it be completed? Or would the strain be too much for the industrial press? Lights flickered. The very metal began to make ominous noises. It was almost there, just a few more PSI. A fraction more force... Bolts sheared off and ricocheted across the room like bullets. Tiedown cables snapped with loud 'twang!'s. Transformers outside blew. Windows shattered. The very ground shook. And then... The hydraulic press exploded, sending fragments in every direction. When the smoke cleared, there, in the crater that was once the middle of the building, a piece of paper sat... The eighth fold barely valid, but valid. Arcs of power leapt from the material to the debris around it as it glowed in an unnatural blue light. It was done. The legendary Octipleat. The hardest substance known to science.

Very interesting video but I am not convinced by two facts: 1) you need a continous gigantic piece of paper and not different papers glued together, as those parts are actually weaker and because of the symmetry, it's where you fold the first 4, 5 times 2) the paper after the 7th folding is not very well folded, as the edges get apart when removing force on the hydraulic press. So actually you feel the strenght of paper only in part of the sheet. It was still very interesting but I would be very interested in some paper company producing a football field surface sheet of paper and try that again!

[@bryanaufdenkamp2958]

Nothing stops a piece of paper from being folded more than seven times if the paper is thin enough. Depending on the thickness and width of the paper, after a certain number of folds, the paper stack becomes thicker than it is wide. After that point, there simply is nothing left to fold, so the limit is reached. Each fold in half makes a paper twice as thick, so that n folds of a paper that has a thickness of t results in a total thickness of 2nt. At the same time, every two folds cuts the width in half, so that n folds reduce the width w to (1/2)n/2w. If we say that a paper can't be folded when its total thickness equals its width, then 2nt = (1/2)w. Solving for n, we find that the maximum number of times a paper can be folded is: n = 0.96 ln (w/t) This equation assumes we fold side to side, then top to bottom, then side to side, etc. Using this equation, a standard piece of printer paper has w = 8.5 inches and t = 0.004 inches, so that n = 7. So a standard piece of paper can indeed only be folded seven times. However, if we had an 8.5 x 11 in. sheet of paper that was a quarter as thick as normal, using this equation, we could fold it nine times. If you take a roll of toilet paper and roll it out into one long line you can fold it even more.

Yes if you use parameters outside the norm of what is usually implied. What is usually implied is "can you fold one piece of paper with your bare hands more than 7 times?" The parameters with this video are "can you fold it more with this ultimate crushing machine that's designed to fold and smash and flatten things out."

[@kamila3366]

The problem of folding paper 7 times is that the thickness after 7 bends is 2^7=128 sheets of paper and it is hard to fold 128 small sheets of paper. Next fold makes thickness 2^8=256, next is 512, next 1024... With this machine paper thickness is not constant so you can go futher than 7 times :)

The answer is yes. But you have to increase the size (area) of the paper you start with, and the thinner the better (like tissue paper or tracing paper).

Which you did. Sort of. ;) Gluing several pieces together changes the orientation of the fibers when they are folded, as well as the thickness at the fold. Essentially an =/>3:1 ratio, whereas if you had done one large single sheet, it would've been a 2:1 ratio, and the fibers would be folding back on themselves generally in the same axis.
