Folding a piece of paper

@Great-Big-Stees said
OK I took a peak at the hidden thingy and after doing a bit of multiplication determined that since 1 light year is around 9.5 trillion kilometres, 46-1/2 billion light years is a lot more kilometres than I can comprehend, though I do know it’s…a lot.😲😁

I Peaked also it was too difficult for me, I am sure there are those much smarter who may have been able to figure it out.

The final number certainly was astronomical. I was a “numbers guy” for a couple of large corporations but never did I deal in numbers like those.😲😁

I am also a numbers guy as I did payroll for a large company, purchasing orders. and kept track of money coming in and going out. These numbers are just astronomical and one would have to know the numbers to work with to being with. I know I wouldn't be able to do it, above anything I've ever done. Hell, I even keep track of my treatments and cannulations. 😉

how high would it be?

"thick" is the term yer looking for
paper rarely gets you high
unless infused
then, 'technically', it's the infusion that creates the highness, and not the paper or the crown

i did some quick research on paper thickness (there's that word again)

but at this point in the timeline of the story my microwave signalled that my morning cuppa joe was ready for consumption
quickly my resolve to solve this mystery of folded paper thickness evolved into desire for hot liquid burning my tongue and throat

thank you for inspiration @diver

@rookie54,
Coffee is the most important part of the day!!! 😉 I am cranky until I get my first Coffee, ok sometimes that doesn't even work. 🙁

A piece of A4 paper can be folded about 6 times maybe 7, before it becomes too thick to bend. But imagine if you could fold it say 103 times; how high would it be?

Guess first before checking the answer …

Now just wait a minute -- where in the question did you state the thickness of the paper?

It was likely 0.1mm thick the “normal” thickness of 20 lb bond.

Standard A4 paper.

I think you might be missing the point Sir.

Could be -- and what Stees and Suzi added above makes sense -- but I have worked with other thicknesses of A4 paper in my working life (even despite being American!).

Edit: but I don't see the word "standard" in your OP, sir. 😉

Now there's a fair point. I might have included card-stock in my considerations.
