This is not just a sheet of paper. It is an invitation to explore the potential of the metric system. Its special property is that when divided in half, the halves are the same shape as the whole. This works for metric paper, such as A4, A5 and A6. Everything from posters to postage can be designed on an A4 sheet and scaled up or down perfectly.
Dividing the A4 sheet further and further reveals a fascinating pattern. At 24 divisions, we reach the size of a bee’s cells, each with its own organs carrying out the business of animating inert matter. At 39 divisions, we reach the limit of what can be seen with the human eye. At 56 divisions, we reach the width of a strand of DNA, and at 64 divisions, the size of a single hydrogen atom.
Diving into the quantum realm, at the Planck length, we reach the smallest size that can be measured. But we can also fly back up the quantum well, doubling and doubling, until we reach the size of the largest cities. It is at this scale that the accomplishments of the humblest of sheets of paper become most clear.
