Point - try folding something sturdy like rubber in one direction at a time. Easy, right? You can even roll it around in one direction, just the same way that forward loading would move a heavy rubber band, with relatively little effort.

Now try folding it in xA=pi*speed of light^3(3*eleventybillion+overninethousandddddd!) directions at the same time.

A little harder?

Please forgive the careless exaggeration, but I'm not sure of the proper formula to describe frictional losses due to flexion.

Once again, intuitively.

IF someone can show me how this is incorrect, I'd be more than happy to personally edit my beliefs.
