Question

Hey Guys,
I wonder, If You anyhow fold a paper 42 times, it will become so thick that you can get upto moon and even if you further fold it upto 400 times, it will become 1 googol light years thick!!!

What's the reason behind this growth of thickness?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is because of overlapping

Explanation:

When the paper overlaps its thickness increases.

Answer 2

Answer:

The basic principle of the above case is that the thickness of the paper $\red{doubles}$ on every fold.

Therefore if the thickness of the paper is 1mm, it becomes

2 mm on 1st fold,

4 mm on 2nd fold,

8 mm on 3rd fold,

1024 mm (1.024 m) on 10th fold,

1048576 mm (1.048576 km) on 20th fold,

1,099,511,627,776 mm (1,099,511.627776 km) on 40th fold,

4,398,046,511,104 mm (4,398,046.511104 km) on 42nd fold, which is almost equal to the distance between earth and moon.

Hope this helps you.
