Banach-Tarski paradox
Quizzes for review
(mathematics) A theorem in set-theoretic geometry, which states that given a solid ball in three‑dimensional space, there exists a decomposition of the ball into a finite number of disjoint subsets, which can then be put back together in a different way to yield two identical copies of the original ball.

The Banach-Tarski paradox challenged my intuition when I learned that a solid ball can be split into a finite number of disjoint pieces and then reassembled into two identical balls.
