Angler fish mate for life by having the male permanently attached to the female. He gives her sperm to reproduce and she gives him blood to survive.
Nice to meet you as well, I'm a bear if you can't tell. Yeah, the fandom has a tendency to be unnecessarily whiney and obnoxious when it comes to these things, so I generally give the mainstreamers a miss.

No sound is different. Sound is "waves" traveling through the air creating vibrations, which our ears and brains interpret as sound. Sound exists whether you can hear it or not, for example you know those ringtones people over 25 can't hear? Just because they can't hear them doesn't mean the sound isn't there, they just can't hear it, the same way just because a blind person can't see something doesn't mean it's not there.henrebotha said:Oh wow. So you mean to say that pain is not, as humanity has assumed all this time, a system of little gnomes running around the brain? Mind = blown.zombiejoe said:Did you know pain dose not exist, it is made by the mind to say "Stop doing what you are doing." So technicly pain is not a real thing
The term "real" requires a definition here. If by "real" you mean "existing outside of the human experience", then yes, pain is not real, but then neither is sound.

Here's the basic concept. Folding a piece of paper in half is increasing the thickness twicefold: <color=green>X^2
Easy to understand, yes?
Now, fold it in half again. <color=green>X^2^2
If <color=green>X is <color=green>2, then <color=green>X^2^2 is <color=green>16. That's only with two folds.
Fold it in half again would make it 16^2, or 256, times thicker. That's three folds.
Folding something in half seven times would be: <color=green>X^2^2^2^2^2^2^2
Following that same rule, folding a paper in half seven times makes it 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 times thicker. Even if one could do it, the paper would run out before it could be folded so many times.

Thats what I thought. But if its the glow then it IS light therefor it raises the bar for light speed.

*ahem*
Sorry, but your maths is wrong. I think you started out with the right idea, but you should have:
X is the number of folds.
2^X is your formula for the thickness of the paper (if the paper is one unit thick).
Thus, 0 folds = 1 thickness.
1 fold = 2 thickness.
2 folds = 4 thickness.
3 folds = 8 thickness.
Etc. 7 folds is still 128-thick, though, which is still ridiculous.
(If I messed up and it turns out my maths is wrong, I'm seppuku'ing)
