Are we talking about folding it in half? Although even the biggest sheet of paper produced, you would only be able to fold it in half, no more than 7 times.

The fact says "If you could". Obviously, it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than 7 times, if it wasn't however, folding it over 42 times (assuming the paper is large enough) would be more than enough to reach the moon. Try it on a calculator. :cool:

In the 60s it was said the population of the world could be stood on the Isle of White. Now the Isle of Man would not be big enough.

If you calculated the number of ancestors you have by doubling each generation going back to about 800 AD the figure would be about 250 trillion, more than the total number of people that have ever lived.

This is explained away by the fact cousins married cousins, introducing common ancestors and decreasing your total number of ancestors. Some people estimate that 80 per cent of marriages that have taken place in history has been between second cousins.

Posted before but.....

It could be said that the invention of the tea cup changed the course of Chinese history. Europeans drank wine, which led to the invention of glass. With glass came lens grinding, which led to telescopes and microscopes. With spectacles, intellectuals and scientists had an extra twenty years of reading life. It also inhibited their advancement of chemistry up to the invention of modern science (no beakers flasks etc to store chemicals in). No glass was made in China between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries! All because they were satisfied with the use of porcelain for their tea!

Thank you QI!

You can't fold a 1cm by 1cm piece of paper 42 times, maybe 3.


He's trying to say that to be able to fold a piece of paper 42 times, it's length has to be at least the distance from here to the moon.

A mind blowing fact is, there is a plasmoid energy source out there that has been measured in spectral analysis to show it is a real energy source but they cannot capture it yet to use. I think that's mind-blowing...

If you take out a mortgage (for example €300,000 over 25 years) with interest and other costs (life insurance, legal fees) it will end up costing you around €600,000 by the time you make the final payment.
