I lost to Lizard Dude's picture.
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

Confirmed fake a long time ago. Mind not blown.

Now I feel like an idiot. :( Maybe if I look up things more thoroughly before posting, stuff like this wouldn't happen.

Someone probably already posted this but... ( I swear it's true, look it up.)

Simple, but amazing.  Why didn't I think of that?

Honestly, I knew most of this already, but the addition and the triangle makes it amazingly clear.

Fold a dollar bill in half 50 times, and it will be thick enough to reach 80% of the way to the sun. Nineteen more times and it will reach Alpha Centauri A, the closest extrasolar star. One more time and it will stretch past Sirius A, or point in a different direction to go past Epsilon Eridani, a star with two planets. One more fold, 71, will take you past Gliese 876, which has four planets.

Folding it in half 101 times would bring you just short of the former location of UDFj-39546284, a galaxy (no longer existent) that is the most distant object ever observed. One more fold would take you just past the edge of the observable universe.

At this point, the cross-sectional area of the dollar bill would be 2.04 * 10-33 square meters, or about 10 by 10 Planck lengths (equivalent to about 10-18 times the size of a proton). The Planck length is the smallest distance that can have any meaning.

At 101 folds, the thickness of the dollar bill is now equivalent to 2,535,301,200,456,458,802,993,406,410,752 bills stacked on top of one another. If you actually had that many dollar bills, it would be enough to give $362,185,885,779,494,114,713.34 to every person on earth (assuming all of them are one-dollar-bills). This would be enough for each person to pay off the United States' national debt 22,636,617 times over, or once every second from January 1 to September 17. For 102 folds, double all these numbers.

That kind of stuff doesn't amaze me anymore because it's not possible to actually do.

That's not the point.  The point is for you to realize the power of such growth.  If you don't like the impossible folding example think of the CPU in your computer or the microscopic organisms in your own body.
