Can paper be folded in half more than 7 times?
A standard piece of paper cannot be folded 7 times, but the Mythbusters folded a hangar sized piece of paper 11 times.
How many times you can fold a square paper?
A square paper can not be folded more than seven times.
Why can't a sheet of paper be folded more than eight times?
It is hard to explain, but it basically amounts to the size to fold ratio. A large enough, thin enough, sheet of paper can be folded more than eight times, but it has to be the size of a football field in order to do it. 128 layers of paper is a lot to fold in half to get to 256!
Can any size of paper be folded in half more than ten times?
Yes, with a large enough sheet of paper, and with some assistance from a forklift truck and 'steam' roller.
Why does crushed paper occupy more space?
Crushed (crumpled) paper occupies more space than folded paper, and better resists being compressed, because the paper material contains irregular folding against the grain, or strength of the paper. Part of the ball consists of flat surfaces and part as "columns" that resist being further crushed. The paper's relative stiffness will determine the actual difference in compression resistance. Most of the volume of a paper "ball" is "trapped" air spaces between the crumpled folds. A similar use of the strength of the material can be demonstrated by creasing a piece of paper into a fan consisting of multiple pleats, with a cross-section having a sawtooth shape. This pleated sheet will resist deformation (bending) to a much greater extent than the unfolded paper sheet.

How can you make a piece of paper 8.5 x 11 bigger than a child?
Its all about making specific cuts in the paper. You have to fold the paper in half then cut loads of thin slits from the folded end to the unfolded end, not going all the way across though. You then unfold the paper and make a few more cuts so that when its unravelled, there is a big loop of paper that a person can fit through.
Is tissue paper stronger when it is folded than other papers?
yes
Can a piece of paper be folded more than seven times?
Yes it is possible. But the paper does have to be very big and thinner than an ordinary piece of paper.
Will printer construction or newspaper fly farther?
Printer paper will fly farther than construction paper and newspaper. This is because the newspaper is to light, the construction paper is to heavy, printer paper is just right.
How far does a arrow paper airplane?
Farther than any other paper airplane that i know of
Why are folded membranes in cells more effective than unfolded membranes?
Folded membranes in cells are more effective because they have more surface area. The wider area of space allows for more activity to occur without damage to the cell because of membrane's resistance.
What enables a long paper plane to go farther than a short paper plane?
Long paper airplanes fly farther than short paper planes because they are more aerodynamic. This means they can move through the air more efficiently due to their long shape.
How many times can you fold a square?

If a piece of paper is folded 9 times how many sections will there be?
It's physically impossible to fold a piece of paper more than 7 times.
