How to measure the thickness of piece of paper?
The simple way is with a screw micrometer, just put the paper in, do up the jaws with the ratchet and there is your answer. I would measure in a few places and average the results for best accuracy.

What will happen if you fold a paper fifty times?
Very interesting... In theory, the thickness of the paper will exceed the earth-moon distance. This is because each time, you are increasing the thickness of the paper by two. So, the number of sheets of paper making the thickness is 249. But in practice, this is impossible to do. You cannot fold a paper even more than ten times.
