Say it is regular piece of paper for a printer, but just an atom thin, how many times would you be able to fold it up in half?

any piece of paper....7....I've tried. But atom thin paper? I think it would be impossible to hold. So I would go with 0. Just 'cause I would probably not even be able to see it, much less hold on to it.

7. For some reason you can only fold a piece of paper in half 7 times.

Probably zero. I'm guessing you would break the bonds between the atoms by trying to fold the paper.

the first responder is correct but failed to mention that you will create a nuclear explosion when you bend the atoms in half - thus splitting atoms. The question is would the explosion be enough to blow up the person folding it or just the paper. hmmmm

I knew #3 and 5 and really didn't make it through the rest. Some of those were quite disturbing, and I'm not sure that I'm really a better person now knowing all of that.
