You can't fold a piece of A4 paper more than eight times.
Analysis
The statement that you can't fold a piece of A4 paper more than eight times is supported by multiple references indicating that the conventional belief is that a standard piece of paper can only be folded seven times. The increase in thickness after each fold makes it practically impossible to fold beyond this limit. While some sources suggest that under certain conditions, it might be possible to fold more than seven times, the overwhelming consensus is that eight folds are not feasible with standard paper, making the statement more likely correct.
Sources
It is commonly claimed that you cannot fold a piece of paper in half more than seven times.
Let’s start with the conventional answer: ask most people this question, and you’re likely to wind up with ‘seven’ as the response.
Anyone who does seek to break Gallivan's record should expect an incredibly thick stack of paper.
What would the length and width of an A4 paper be if it was folded 42 times? Each time it is folded, it gets twice as thick.
After 7 fold/cuts there would be 128 pieces of A11 paper and repeating the process one more time would make 256 pieces of A12 paper.
Forget your origami skills, folding an A4 piece of paper more than seven times is theoretically impossible.
Nothing stops a piece of paper from being folded more than seven times if the paper is thin enough.
