Technically can you "break" paper or just rip it?

Question

i dont think you can break it but my tard friend said it breaks

Answer 1

Well if you dipped a sheet of paper in liquid nitrogen and threw it on the ground than yes it would break, but other that that i guess it does just rip.

Answer 2

Folding paper could be considered "breaking" as it is not in its original form. Similar to taking a pen and bending it over so its not strait.

Answer 3

I don't think you can "break" paper....you can only rip it.... break it?? what was he thinking?? if you drop it, it won't crack into half! but if you would have to break paper you would like have to add chemicals and like freeze it and....PAPER DOESN'T BREAK! lol that's funny

Answer 6

Answer 7

i would think it generally rips

BUT if you had a big stack of paper, and somehow had a machine pushing down on the sides, if it broke apart in the middle where it wa bending, then i'd call that a break

but seriously, who's gonna have those kind of situations

....but i do suppose it's possible
