In reality this myth actually held till 2002 to when it was debunked, practically and mathematically, by a 16 year old. How many centuries-old mathematical theories had you disproved by the time YOU were 16, huh?

    HA! I got the same idea right after reading the headline.

    Have you seen when Mythbusters busted the myth (does that sentence even make sense?)? I thought it was ridiculous that they used several huge rolls of paper and stuck them together to make one HUGE piece of paper.

    You can actually do it without unfolding it first, if you have an infinitely large piece of paper!

      But then you can only fold it once, and even that takes an infinitely long time!

        Maybe you want “Indefinite”.
        That way it could be really big, but not infinite.

    On the children’s TV progam “How” they used aluminium foil as the “paper” and squashed it flat in a press after each fold. You can keep folding indefinitely that way.

    Lies.

    If you keep folding and unfolding the paper eventually it’ll tear and so there’s a limit regardless of what you do 🙁

      That’s why you need to use the patented _magic_ folding paper mentioned in the comic.

    MythBusters busted this myth a while back, but only with an immensely large piece of paper
