The thickness doubles every time the paper is folded. Fold it 42 times and the growth is exponential. You can't fold a piece of paper more than 8 or 9 time though. Here's a real kicker, fold it in half about 94 times and it's the length of the entire visible universe!
In the beginning of the universe, Hydrogen was the only element. Over time, with different forces acting on it, it became other elements, making up all matter in the universe, including sentient beings like you and me.
How would the universe have a radius of 46.5 billion lightyears? It began expanding from a singularity approximately 14 billion years ago, and presumably this expansion was at or below the speed of light.
Unless it wasn't a singularity after all. Or it traveled at above the speed of light (and thus broke physics).
I'm not posting this to be an overcritical douche, I'm actually curious.
Its spacetime that’s expanding, not matter racing away (which is constrained by the speed of light). Think of a surfer on a wave where the wave is spacetime and the surfer represents galaxies ect.
Google ‘metric expansion of space’ for a proper explanation rather than my inarticulate ramble.
@Extertainment I think space may have expanded with it, not real sure though, sounds suspicous, sounds like it did technically move faster than the speed of light, anyone know?
I heard that before the universe existed, time, space, physics, and the laws that govern these properties didn't exist, so when the universe first started expanding it was unrestrained. Something like that, I don't really remember. Google it for a real answer.
It's true that Peter Cullen is the voice of both Optimus Prime and Eeyore. However, Frank Welker, voice of Megatron, isn't the original Scooby-Doo. That was the late Don Messick, whom Welker recently replaced. He is the original Fred, though!
If the age of the universe is 13.7 billion years old, but the radius is 46.5 billion lightyears...then does that mean that the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light?
@ninjaphile Very early on when the Universe was super "young", there was a period called "Inflation" where it expanded at an incredibly fast rate. You can find more info on the internet, of course...
@Ombortron That's true, but doesn't answer the question. The limit of the observable universe being 46.5 billion lightyears means that light we see from there was emitted 46.5 billion years ago in our frame of reference. So what we see as being 13.7 billion years old was actually 13.7 billion years old 46.5 billion years ago. The true age of the known universe is the sum of the two, 60.2 billion years, but it's likely the universe is much older than that in areas too far away for us to measure.
well sort of... that guy who mentioned inflation was correct, but that effect is still happening on a smaller scale. Its not that the edges of the universe is moving away, but every point in the universe is getting further away from it's neighbour as the fabric of space itself stretches. If you look up cosmological red shift that may help explain somewhat.
@commandodude1265 "Given enough time, hydrogen gas will think about itself." He's refering to the fact that everything in the universe started out as hydrogen. Stars, through fusion, create heavier elements, and these elements are released when the star dies. Flash forward a few billion years, and here you are...made of elements like carbon, nitrogen, etc...which all started out as simple hydrogen, fusing inside of stars.

@thejoshcohenshow think about it, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc so it can go far from 1 to 42 and it will reach the moon if you think think about it enough :)
I know that a good chunk of this isn't true (e.g. the universe isn't spherical), but I also know a good chunk of it is. Now the big question in my mind is:
@juanito3210, From what I remember from my Big Questions course at 13.7 billion light years away the universe is made up of an opaque soup of mater that light cannot penetrate, we can see some infrared radiation which is how we know that it doesn't just end there, the visible edge is limited by the speed of light but the other outer boundary is not actually moving but the space is expanding faster than the speed of light (theoretically)
@juanito3210 The form radiowaves take is debatable. Radio waves are a form of light, which sometimes acts like it's comprised of particles, and other times acts like a wave.
@walshs4 That's just horribly wrong. We can't see it because the light that far away hasn't reached us yet. When you even try to go close to the speed of light, time slows down (or dilates) (t=t0/sqrt(1-u^2/c^2)) and length contracts (l=l0*sqrt(1-u^2/c^2))
Tachyons are the only thing that can theoretically move faster than c (unless you count entanglement as some kind of data transfer), and we don't know they exist. Whoever told you that stuff is bullshitting you.
@Alexrose12345678910 Your right, i should definitely believe some random guy on the internet instead of a prof with a Ph.D in astronomy, what you said about the speed of light does apply to matter but not the fabric of space its self, this phenomenon took place for the briefest of instants after the big bang, all of this is theoretical and clearly is up for debate but it is a valid theory that explains why our observable universe is smaller than what we know it to be.
It's not pronounced "im-per-for-ah-tay," but rather "im-per-fer-it." I realize the correct pronunciation wouldn't have worked in the song, but I had to mention it.
@abarreloflols Yes, obviously it's completely impossible, but if you take the standard thickness of 20-pound paper as .0038 inches, folded 42 times that becomes 16,712,576,742 inches, which is about 263,772 miles. The distance from Earth to the Moon is averaged at 238,857 miles. So in theory, it would reach the Moon, but in reality it could never happen.
@embrezar you guys are speaking preety heavy stuff, big ideas have come from this kind of arguments, you are talking about converting a finite 2D (3D actually, but that will drift me away from my point) sheet of paper into a 1D line, by infinitely folding it.
Ad infinitum you'll eventually achieve an infinite greater thickness and an infinite smaller surface, in other words a 1D line
so, how about the universe (3D) being an infinite folding of a finite 4D hiperplane??
oh and btw.: it's not possible to swim through the arteries of a blue whale. first because I guess it won't let you do it and second it's not big enough, the aorta is 20cm diameter, wanna see how you want to swim through that...
"fold over a piece of paper 42 times and it will reach the moon"
this is a horrible failure in grammar, in this phrasing the supposed fact he states is obviously impossible folding a piece of paper can not cause it to reach moon
a better way to phrase it is that a paper that COULD be folded IN HALF 42 times theoretically would be long enough to reach the moon, based on certain mathematical models and presumptions about the paper and its packing density
@Niallissoawesome it's posible to fold a paper in half any amount of times assuming the paper is large enough the idea that you can not only fold a paper more than X amount of times is a myth,
@iknowmy3table That doesn't matter. If you fold it, it gets always half the size and double the thickness. If the paper is superbig it will get smaller and higher much faster. So size does not matter in this case. Some say 8 or 9 times is the max. But don't think you can fold it a 50 times with a clean fold.
well assuming the paper is infinitely big then sure, fold it as many times as you want but if you confine it's dimensions to a real size then there IS a limit as to how many times it can be folded. Some teenage girl somewhere derived a formula which factors in size width etc that calculates how many times it can be folded. Not a myth. If you think a piece of paper can be folded indefinitely then show me a sheet that's infinitly big.
@Qw3rtypop infinity is not a number, the conventional myth never specified how big the paper could be and specifies a specific number which people have disproved
You know you should make a song with that in and see if it sounds as good as this one.
Seriously... don't be a freaking killjoy. The only 2 douchebaggery comments I can see both come from you. You better way to phrase it doesn't make sense anyway, as you have mentioned nothing about it being folded, merely stated that it was capable of being folded; there is no "if" in your sentence.
If you're going to be a killjoy at least be a correct killjoy.
@Qw3rtypop I was giving an example that would be more clear, and there doesn't have to be an if in the statement for it to make sense, the phrasing he used didn't make sense and was very confusing for a lot of people, there are other ways he could have phrased it that would have made more sense
why are you accusing me of being an snob in correctness while accusing me of not using an "if" in my example? doesn't that seam rather hypocritical
@iknowmy3table you are getting it wrong. It doesn't matter, and you dont need a mathematical model for it.
folding the paper will increase it's thickness and decrease it's surface, so the paper will eventually become preety much a 1D string (a square with 2^42 less the surface of the original paper) therefore its lenght would be 2^21 times smaller than the original paper, so thin you woldnt be able to see it, but long enough to reach the moon
@iknowmy3table Ehm no. Even though folding paper 8-9 times is the absolute maximum that can be reached with machinery we currently have, it does not change the fact that IF you do fold paper 42 times (no matter how or when), it would reach ze moon.
@iknowmy3table this guy takes the song way to seriously.. probably one of thoughs guys who are now going to bitch about what i just said with something half witty.
At least leave your opinion correctly, rather than making yourself look like a dumb ass. Yeah he's taken it a little too literally.. But maybe he was a troll that you just fed.
@iknowmy3table Don't blame him. He's quoting directly from reddit, not the most reliable place on the internet. Here's the math in case anyone was curious:
The distance from the earth to the moon is approximately 363,104,000 meters at its closest. Using regular paper with average thickmess of 0.1mm, you would need 3,631,040,000,000 layers minimum to reach the moon. 2^42 is 4,398,046,511,104, well above that. In fact, it's enough to reach from the farthest point, 405,696,000 meters away.
@iknowmy3table God, you seem to be an unbearable smart arse. You try fitting "paper that COULD be folded IN HALF 42 times theoretically would be long enough to reach the moon, based on certain mathematical models and presumptions about the paper and its packing density" into a catchy song.
Or look at this way: The two opposite corners of the paper (going diagonally across) are some distance apart, and folding will only bring them closer together. You can't move them further part by folding, because the path connecting them along the surface of the paper will stay the same length, and will just become bent instead of straight as you fold the paper.
The only way to get the opposite corners farther apart is to cut the paper.
The folding a piece of paper 42 times won't really work. You would have to cut the stack of paper in half and then restack the two halves to get it work. If you try folding, the part of the stack near the crease is curved, and the size of the curved region would quickly increase and take over the whole stack after a few folds.
And even if do cut instead of fold, you would have to cut VERY precisely, and somehow keep the stack from falling apart into lots of tiny pieces of paper.
@brothershrike94 watch the series the universe from discorvery channel, they explain it there, it's young in terms of the universe scale, which is huge.
@brothershrike94: it may sound strange, but space itself is expanding (and did very rapidly after the big bang). So objects become more distant not by moving through space (which indeed can't happen faster than light) but by having the space between them stretch out.
@brothershrike94 And since hydrogen is just a proton (plus an electron, but whatever), all elements are essentially fused hydrogen, so yes, hydrogen does eventually think of itself. :)
@ninjamitcherz You're thinking of stacking 42 pieces of paper together. The lyrics are referring to a piece of paper folded in half 42 times. Folding a piece of paper doubles it's thickness. It's classic exponential growth. The thickness of paper * 2^42 is more than the distance to the moon. If it helps, folding a piece of paper 43 times would go to the moon and back.
If I can divide any space by 2, and therefore can always move half the distance towards a wall, doesn't that mean the distance to the wall is infinite? After all, it's an infinite number of half-distances. So, if the distance to the wall is infinite, how can I ever reach the wall, which is an infinite distance away? Maybe the next song will explain it.
@polishfreak36 No... Considering Jesus was a blessing from God, it makes perfect sense. It also is a reminder of who you are to be living for. If you want me to get into it all, I can message you.

@ReflexEight
* Distance to moon: 384,405Km
* Thickness of a piece of paper: 0.1mm or 0.00000001Km (convert to kilometer to get same units as distance to moon)
* Each fold of a paper will double its thickness. (1 paper + 1 paper on top = 2 papers of thickness)
So: 0.00000001Km * 2^47 (that is 2*2*2*2*2..... 47 times) = 1,407,374 Km

"fold over a piece of paper 42 times and it will reach the moon"
this is a horrible failure in grammar, in this phrasing the supposed fact he states is obviously impossible folding a piece of paper can not cause it to reach moon
a better way to phrase it is that a paper that COULD be folded IN HALF 42 times theoretically would be long enough to reach the moon, based on certain mathematical models and presumptions about the paper and its packing density
he should put in an annotation

@iknowmy3table It doesn't really matter because anyone with a brain already knows you can't fold a piece of paper 42 times.
Niallissoawesome 1 year ago
@Niallissoawesome it's posible to fold a paper in half any amount of times assuming the paper is large enough the idea that you can not only fold a paper more than X amount of times is a myth,
iknowmy3table 1 year ago
@iknowmy3table That doesn't matter. If you fold it, it gets always half the size and double the thickness. If the paper is superbig it will get smaller and higher much faster. So size does not matter in this case. Some say 8 or 9 times is the max. But don't think you can fold it a 50 times with a clean fold.

@iknowmy3table
well assuming the paper is infinitely big then sure, fold it as many times as you want but if you confine it's dimensions to a real size then there IS a limit as to how many times it can be folded. Some teenage girl somewhere derived a formula which factors in size width etc that calculates how many times it can be folded. Not a myth. If you think a piece of paper can be folded indefinitely then show me a sheet that's infinitly big.
Qw3rtypop 1 year ago
@Qw3rtypop infinity is not a number, the conventional myth never specified how big the paper could be and specifies a specific number which people have disproved

You know you should make a song with that in and see if it sounds as good as this one.
Seriously... don't be a freaking killjoy. The only 2 douchebaggery comments I can see both come from you. You better way to phrase it doesn't make sense anyway, as you have mentioned nothing about it being folded, merely stated that it was capable of being folded; there is no "if" in your sentence.
If you're going to be a killjoy at least be a correct killjoy.
Qw3rtypop 1 year ago
@Qw3rtypop I was giving an example that would be more clear, and there doesn't have to be an if in the statement for it to make sense, the phrasing he used didn't make sense and was very confusing for a lot of people, there are other ways he could have phrased it that would have made more sense
why are you accusing me of being an snob in correctness while accusing me of not using an "if" in my example? doesn't that seam rather hypocritical
iknowmy3table 1 year ago
@iknowmy3table you are getting it wrong. It doesn't matter, and you dont need a mathematical model for it.
folding the paper will increase it's thickness and decrease it's surface, so the paper will eventually become preety much a 1D string (a square with 2^42 less the surface of the original paper) therefore its lenght would be 2^21 times smaller than the original paper, so thin you woldnt be able to see it, but long enough to reach the moon

@iknowmy3table Ehm no. Even though folding paper 8-9 times is the absolute maximum that can be reached with machinery we currently have, it does not change the fact that IF you do fold paper 42 times (no matter how or when), it would reach ze moon.

@iknowmy3table Don't blame him. He's quoting directly from reddit, not the most reliable place on the internet. Here's the math in case anyone was curious:
The distance from the earth to the moon is approximately 363,104,000 meters at its closest. Using regular paper with average thickmess of 0.1mm, you would need 3,631,040,000,000 layers minimum to reach the moon. 2^42 is 4,398,046,511,104, well above that. In fact, it's enough to reach from the farthest point, 405,696,000 meters away.

@iknowmy3table God, you seem to be an unbearable smart arse. You try fitting "paper that COULD be folded IN HALF 42 times theoretically would be long enough to reach the moon, based on certain mathematical models and presumptions about the paper and its packing density" into a catchy song.
nervvv 1 year ago
Or look at this way: The two opposite corners of the paper (going diagonally across) are some distance apart, and folding will only bring them closer together. You can't move them further part by folding, because the path connecting them along the surface of the paper will stay the same length, and will just become bent instead of straight as you fold the paper.
The only way to get the opposite corners farther apart is to cut the paper.
HyperSpify 1 year ago
The folding a piece of paper 42 times won't really work. You would have to cut the stack of paper in half and then restack the two halves to get it work. If you try folding, the part of the stack near the crease is curved, and the size of the curved region would quickly increase and take over the whole stack after a few folds.
And even if do cut instead of fold, you would have to cut VERY precisely, and somehow keep the stack from falling apart into lots of tiny pieces of paper.

I don't get how the universe can be that big if it's that young. Wouldn't that mean that matter was moving faster than light, which is impossible?

@brothershrike94 watch the series the universe from discorvery channel, they explain it there, it's young in terms of the universe scale, which is huge.
JoeMarine51 1 year ago
@brothershrike94: it may sound strange, but space itself is expanding (and did very rapidly after the big bang). So objects become more distant not by moving through space (which indeed can't happen faster than light) but by having the space between them stretch out.

@brothershrike94 And since hydrogen is just a proton (plus an electron, but whatever), all elements are essentially fused hydrogen, so yes, hydrogen does eventually think of itself. :)

Google: "fold a piece of paper 42 times and it will reach the moon", gives a good explanation.
Quinnatator 1 year ago
@ninjamitcherz You're thinking of stacking 42 pieces of paper together. The lyrics are referring to a piece of paper folded in half 42 times. Folding a piece of paper doubles it's thickness. It's classic exponential growth. The thickness of paper * 2^42 is more than the distance to the moon. If it helps, folding a piece of paper 43 times would go to the moon and back.

If I can divide any space by 2, and therefore can always move half the distance towards a wall, doesn't that mean the distance to the wall is infinite? After all, it's an infinite number of half-distances. So, if the distance to the wall is infinite, how can I ever reach the wall, which is an infinite distance away? Maybe the next song will explain it.
