A flat sheet of paper collapses easily under pressureтАФit lacks structural strength!
But once itтАЩs folded or creased, everything changes. Those bends form ridges that act like tiny support beams, distributing weight more evenly across the surface. The folds add rigidity, reduce bending, and allow the paper to bear much more load.
ItтАЩs the same principle engineers use when designing bridges and buildingsтАФwith arches, corrugation, and beams turning simple materials into strong structures.
