We learnt a lot of things when we were at school but since the world is evolving everyday, there are new things that are constantly being discovered. This means that many of the things that we learnt in school are now no longer true. Today, we have a chance to relearn a few things that might keep our knowledge in check and save us any future embarrassment.
You Can Fold Paper More Than 7 Times
We have all come across the fact that says we cannot fold a piece of paper in half more than 7 or 8 times. The reason behind this is that too much energy would be required to fold the paper more than that.
However, a California student Britney Gallivan challenged this myth and proved it to be wrong. She folded a long sheet of tissue paper in half, 12 times. She was able to do so in the same direction, too.
