Why can't you fold a piece of paper more than seven times?

It's that old chestnut..."the folds get in the way!"

No matter how big the paper, or how wafer thin the paper is, it's still only seven times MAX.

Now that is science. Or...err...isn't!

That´s because the paper is stronger than the sword !
