Exciting news - I'm going to be joining the Overwatch team as a Senior Hero Designer! 🎉

Next week will be my last week on Hearthstone. This game, this team, and this community are unlike anything else. I am the developer I am today thanks in large part to Hearthstone.

Screenshot of text: “The theorem is a veridical paradox: it contradicts basic geometric intuition, but is not false or self-contradictory. "Doubling the ball" by dividing it into parts and moving them around by rotations and translations, without any stretching, bending, or adding new points, seems to be impossible, since all these operations ought, intuitively speaking, to preserve the volume. The intuition that such operations preserve volumes is not mathematically absurd and it is even included in the formal definition of volumes. However, this is not applicable here because in this case it is impossible to define the volumes of the considered subsets. Reassembling them reproduces a set that has a volume, which happens to be different from the volume at the start.” Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Tarski_paradox

I think I found what I was looking for (also Wikipedia), and I just misinterpreted the paradox from the beginning: It’s not intended to show a contradiction.

I still don’t understand the contradiction in this proof. If you rearrange infinite points (surface of a sphere), you can get 2x infinite points (2 spheres), but that’s the same with the Naturals and the Reals right? Isn’t this just another case of human intuition about infinity being wrong?

Any tips for how one might give this as a gift, without coming across the wrong way?
