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!

What is the formula to determine how many sides when a piece of paper is folded in half repeatedly?
If by sides you refer to the number of paper slices you can hold then the formula is this: assuming that when the paper has not been folded, the number of times folded is equal zero then the equation is: 2x, where x is the number of times folded. for example if the paper has been folded four times the number of sides is: 24 = 16

Yes, as a matter of fact it is possible to fold paper for more than 8 times, and the paper doesnt have to be extraordinarily big either. All you need to do is get a sheet of facial tissue, that's paper all right, next make sure that the tissue paper you have is single sheet only, if not, remove all others and make sure you are using only a single sheet of tissue paper. Now get some water. Fold the Tissue around three times, next add water to the tissue, wet it completely, and make sure you have removed all the air bubbles inside. Now, using your thumbs, press on the folded edges of the tissue real hard so that flatten themselves a little bit. Fold it for the fourth time. Continue the same steps, until you have upto 8 folds, it shouldn't be so hard until this point. For the final fold, this time reall wet your eight times folded tissue paper, quickly fold it into the ninth, press real hard so that water comes out, take a new sheet of tissue paper and wrap it around the one folded 9 times. This timepress from all directions for the new tissue paper to soak all the water from t=your 9 times folded tissue paper. after you are sure that most of the water has been removed, uncover the covering tissue, you will find yourself with a 9 times perfectly folded tissue paper. And if you want to unfold the folds again, let it dry completely overnight, and in the morning it will open smothly, however, it is advised to stay a bit careful whil opening.
