A sheet of paper is 0.015 cm thick. Suppose you rip it in half, place the two halves together, and rip them in half. Then you place the four pieces you now have in a stack and rip the stack in half. If it were physically possible to continue this process of stacking the torn pieces and ripping the stacks apart for 50 times, the stack would have 250 pieces. How high would this stack reach? (Give your answer in meters.)
