    I tried this at home despite the warning, and regretted it. I almost created a black hole from folding the paper too many times. Very dangerous.

    I love how when you try to fold it again, the very paper crumbles away to dust, like you've caused a reality-breaking paradox.

      The paper can’t handle the force , if paper material advances you probably would be able to fold a couple more times but eventually it becomes impossible, I think there’s a equation that says for a paper to be folded 50 times it would be able to reach the sun

    Keep in mind that trying to succesfully fold past 10 layers means you somehow have to fold over 1000 layers of paper without tearing them, you have to stretch them so it actually fold but its very easy to stretch them too far and tear them

    I can explain this equation :). It's the ratio of paper thickness to it's size. When you fold the paper on half it's gets thicker 2 times, when you fold it again it's 4 times thicker, then 8, 16, 32 and so one. When you fold it 10 times it's 512 thicker. If you have 2 times thinner paper you can fold it one more time having the same thickness at the end. 2 dimension layer of graphene has 0,000 000 335 mm thicknes so you propably can fold it 23 times until it reaches 1,4cm of thickness. The smallest distance according to physicist is Planck constant (0, 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 6m ) and it's the resolution of our space. If you have something that is this thick you can fold it 106 times until it reaches something about 1cm thickness

    Well, after the 7th folding, you have 2^7=128 layers of paper. After the 8th folding, it is 256 layers. The size of the paper doesn't matter, the bend is local, and that's where the 512 layers tear apart because of the thickness.

    Very interesting video but I am not convinced by two facts:
    1) you need a continous gigantic piece of paper and not different papers glued together, as those parts are actually weaker and because of the symmetry, it's where you fold the first 4, 5 times
    2) the paper after the 7th folding is not very well folded, as the edges get apart when removing force on the hydraulic press. So actually you feel the strenght of paper only in part of the sheet.
    It was still very interesting but I would be very interested in some paper company producing a football field surface sheet of paper and try that again!
    By the way, like for the enthusiasm and suspense!

    It was on that moment, when the paper had been folded seven times and had been placed on the hydraulic press... Alarms began to shriek as the pressure mounted. Sparks flew from actuators and junction boxes. The legendary eighth fold... The impossible fold, it was happening. But would it be completed? Or would the strain be too much for the industrial press?
    Lights flickered.
    The very metal began to make ominous noises.
    It was almost there, just a few more PSI. A fraction more force...
    Bolts sheared off and ricocheted across the room like bullets.
    Tiedown cables snapped with loud 'twang!'s.
    Transformers outside blew.
    Windows shattered.
    The very ground shook.
    And then...
    The hydraulic press exploded, sending fragments in every direction.
    When the smoke cleared, there, in the crater that was once the middle of the building, a piece of paper sat... The eighth fold barely valid, but valid. Arcs of power leapt from the material to the debris around it as it glowed in an unnatural blue light.
    It was done.

    Haven’t you all watched Mythbusters who can fold paper 12 times?

    Excellent experiment. Having press is rather helpful. But would the nail be classed as an unfair advantage, as it reduces the thickness of paper to gain the next fold? Just a thought. Still fun to have a go at. Well done. Now where’s my printer and hydraulic press………….
