Banach-Tarski — splitting a sphere into pieces, reassembling into two identical spheres. Why math survives this.
Splitting one sphere into two identical ones, mathematically true, physically impossible.
Prompt
Explain the Banach-Tarski paradox — that a sphere can theoretically be split into pieces and reassembled into two spheres identical to the original — and why this doesn't actually break math, just our physical intuition.
