After all, if one deals solely with finite sets, then there is no need to distinguish between countable and uncountable infinities, and Banach-Tarski type paradoxes cannot occur. Technically, this isn't quite true in general, as there exist non-measurable subsets of the plane. Question about the Banach–Tarski paradox. The Banach–Tarski paradox states that a ball in the ordinary Euclidean space can be doubled using only the operations of partioning into subsets, replacing a set with a congruent set, and reassembly. I don' know if this is what you're looking for, but there's a paradox (not a formal paradox, but a very, very counterintuitive result) called the Banach-Tarski paradox. Q.3), The Banach Tarski Paradox: Can a sphere be cut into a finite number of pieces, and then reassembled into two spheres that are identical to the original? The Banach-Tarski Paradox says that you can take a sphere, cut it into a finite number of pieces, and then move and rotate these pieces around to make two new spheres just like the original. The Banach-Tarski Dupla-Shrinker recently made an appearance on an episode of Futurama . I recently read and reviewed The Pea and The Sun by Leonard Wapner, which is about the Banach-Tarski Paradox. And use of the AC to achieve unintuitive mathematical results, like paradoxical decompositions in geometry in the spirit of the Banach-Tarski paradox, have also fueled skepticism and mistrust of the axiom. Mathematics is not a matter of acceptance. Today's Spiked Math comic is: Joke Explanation:The joke lies in combining the Banach-Tarski paradox with a miracle that Jesus performed:1. In General Math is being discussed at Physics Forums. Using it, Bender got to make two, slightly smaller, copies of himself.
