A line of indentation always remains. I should imagine the atomic structure of the paper has been impacted in some way that (practically) can't be reversed.

It is NOT impossible it is just difficult. You added energy to that area and need to take it away or release it. This holds true for other items as well, just a question of how easily or not the energy can be released.
Slapping the surface of water creates a "crease" but the energy dissipates easily.

Simple! Just iron it, with a medium hot iron.
(Viper. It's only possible to fold a piece of paper 7 times)
Edit :
Sorry Viper, your 'statement' WAS correct. My memory, of what you wrote, from 'page' to 'answer', was sh*t* (rhymes with 'white'). Cheers!
Edit II :

"Wet it"(?). Depends on the print - If it's not fast it will run, which could be disastrous. Perhaps a 'steam' iron? (Test an unimportant bit first).

You don't need to think as fine as atomic or molecular structure.
The fibers were stressed beyond their yield point and
some were torn.
While you can press the fold flat again, the damage remains visible.

It can be reversed, but it takes time and skill.You probably better just getting a new bit of paper

The molecular structure has been altered to an extent that is not easily reversed.

It isn't. Wet the paper to relax the fibres, and then iron it.

yeah
also why is it impossible to fold a sheet of paper more than 10 times?
