Another cool pathological example that seems to defy logic is the Banach – Tarski paradox. Though perhaps not appropriate, I am amused by the invocation of Alfred Tarski in this discussion. This paradox is actually very similar to Banach-Tarski, but involves a violation of additivity of probability rather than additivity of volume. The Banach-Tarski Dupla-Shrinker recently made an appearance on an episode of Futurama . Alex Simpson University of Edinburgh. Using it, Bender got to make two, slightly smaller, copies of himself. Although there may not be enough points there are also too many sets as demonstrated by the Banach-Tarski paradox which lead to the introduction of measurable sets. My friend Moon came to the program a couple of nights ago and gave a kick-ass talk to the students about the Banach-Tarski paradox. The Banach-Tarski paradox is one of the many places where higher-level math starts to sound like a stoned conversation in a Freshman college dorm room. 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. The Banach-Tarski theorem involves a type 1 paradox, since there is a conclusion of the theorem that appears to contradict common sense; yet, the conclusion is true. This is one of my favourite mathematical topics. 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?
