Solution :-
as earth to moon is 384 400 km if we want to moon to earth again the distance will be doubled so 768800
So if earth to moon is taking 42 fold then if we double distance it will take the 43 folds as per fold it is getting double then previous
Hope this helps😅

AR^n-1=2×384000
A=0.1mm, R=2
Here the equation and find the value of 'n' and it is 43🎉.

If 42 folds are just enough to cover the distance from the earth to the moon you only need to double it again to cover the distance twice, so 43 folds

[MFarhanAkterArnab]

Just one more fold, 43 folds in total

42... So thats question to the answer to life the universe and everything

[yogi_hariyani]

Yeah it only takes one more fold to return back to the earth but the reality is No matter how big a paper sheet we can fold maximum 7 times. 😮

Final thickness of paper = 2^(number of folds) × initial thickness of paper

[bazza-one]

95 folds for the edge of the known universe.

Infinitely thin is infinitely tall and infinitely folded. 🤔 I'm confused over this personal dilemma. 😅

Is this accounting for the space in between? Because if what you’re counting is reliant on each page being exactly flat like a closed book, it won’t take as many folds as you calculate as, realistically, it’s being held enough above it to make, cumulatively, quite a bit of distance. But considering it’s one paper with each page connected on a side rather than separate pages stacked together, you’d also need a paper long enough to reach the moon in the first place before ever folding it.

Is this why the answer to life is 42?
😂😂

[boscoyuen]

There is air inside so its not accurate enough

[deeptigoel]

Everyone is wrong! See since when the paper is folded it will go in one direction since starting so in 43 folds it will pass moon instead of bending towards earth! stupid!
