2100 folds = 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376 = 1267 x 1 billion x 1 billion x 1 billion layers
Now if we assume that the thickness of one layer of newspaper is 0.0001 meters (that is 0.1 millimeters), we they need to multiply the thickness by the number of layers. Which is 126,765,060,022,822,940,149,670 kilometers thick. That is a huge number. To make it a bit more understandable lets put that is terms of different units, light years. A light year is the distance light travels in a year.
1 light year (ly) = 9,460,730,472,580 kilometers
So using these new units we find that the thickness of our newspaper that was folder 100 times is 13,399,077,417 light years thick. Which is about 13.4 billion light years thick!
It is currently thought that the diameter of the universe is about 90 billion light years. Meaning that if you started at one side of the universe and walked to the other side, 90 billion light years is the distance you would have walked. So if you folded 8 newspapers 100 times you be able to build a bridge from one side and the universe to the other side!
I love math!

If you could fold a newspaper in half 100 times, it would theoretically result in a thickness of approximately 13.6 billion light-years, far exceeding the observable universe's size. However, in reality, the paper would likely tear or become unmanageable after a certain number of folds due to physical constraints.

If you had a piece of paper that was 0.001 inches thick how tall a pile would it make if it were folded in half 10 times?
1.028"
If you folded a piece a paper 50 times how tall would it be?
A normal piece of paper is about 0.0038 inches thick. So, if the paper were to be folded 50 times, it would become, essentially, 1,125,899,906,842,624 pieces of paper stacked upon one another. Therefore, you would multiply the above number by 0.0038 and that would be 4278419646001.97 inches or 67,525,562.594 miles of paper. So, a normal 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper folded 50 times would be 67,525,562.594 miles, which is 141 times the distance the Moon is to the Earth.
How thick would a piece of paper folded in half be?
Folding the piece of paper does not change the thickness of the piece of paper. However, the thickness of the folded paper would be twice that of the original sheet of paper.
If a paper is 1mm thick and you fold it 40 times how thick will would it be be?
It would remain 1mm thick.
If you fold a piece of paper 50 times how thick would it be?
It depends, because the paper could be thicker than others.AnswerThe folded paper would be 1 x (250) times as thick as the original sheet as each fold doubles the thicknessAssuming the initial paper is 1/100 of an inch thick the last fold would make a wad of paper almost 200 million miles thick
How thick would be a piece of paper folded 103 times?
Depends how you fold it, but if you fold in such a way that each folding doubles the thickness, that would be 2 to the power 103 times the thickness of a single sheet. (You CAN'T do that with any real paper.)
How many layers would there be if you folded a piece of paper 7 times?
128
If you could fold a piece of paper in half 50 times how thick would it be?
In theory, that peice of paper would be thick enough to accomplish the distance from earth to the moon.=================================as i said...in theory. but hypotheticallyit would just be a normal piece of paper that is 0.02cm thick.=================================Answer #2:The paper would still be the same thickness as it was before you folded it.But you're probably asking for the thickness of the big folded wad. Naturally,that depends on how thick the paper is before you start folding it.You haven't mentioned what kind of paper you'd like to use, so I can't actuallycalculate a thickness. All I can tell you is that whatever the thickness of thepaper is, the final folded form will be 250 = 1,125,899,907,000,000 times as thick(rounded to the nearest million times).20-lb bond, widely used for home printers, varies from about 0.0038 to 0.0045 inch thick. If I use 0.004 inch for convenience, and multiply it by the rounded number above, I get(0.004 in) x 250 = 4.5 x 1012 in = 3.8 x 1011 ft = 71 million miles, rounded,or just under 298 times the distance to the moon.(That's if you're careful to squeeze out all the air between the layers after you fold it.)
If a pond was 0.03 meters thick if the ice were 10 times as thick how many meters thick would it be?
It would be 0.3 metres.
Assume that a sheet of paper is 0.15mm thick If you folded the sheet of paper in Half 50 times how high would the stack of paper reach?
you can flod a sheet paper 6 times
Where can someone get a subscription of the Irish Times Newspaper?
There are many places one might go to purchase a subscription of the Irish Times Newspaper. The most reputable resource would be the official Irish Times website.
What would the sequence of inward and outward folds be in a piece of paper folded in half ten times?
There is no fixed sequence.
