Manxy's challenge 3

[manxy1]

I'm not sure if you like me adding something to the boards, or you're fed up with me putting teasing questions in, but send me a message or let me know what you think.
So here's my next challenge!

Suppose you had a life-size map of the world, made of paper. The thickness of the paper is 0.1 millimetres.

Now, suppose you fold it in half. Then you fold it in half again, and again, and again. In all, you fold it in half 40 times.

How thick would the folded paper be? Please give your answer in metres, round to the nearest metre, and exclude any punctuation or extra information.

You cannot fold a paper into halves more than 7 times.
