Talk:Banach-Tarski Paradox

Since the article doesn't explain how the sphere is split, we'd better describe it as a '''claim''' made by certain parties, much as the claim made by [[AGW]] supporters that their [[global climate model]]s explain or predict anything. Since GCMs have never been explained in any encyclopedia article I've read, I assume they are too esoteric for us laymen to understand (or check). --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 19:15, 4 January 2010 (EST)
:Not at all. I can have a complete description of the Banach-Tarski paradox up by tonight which will be accessible to anybody who understands irrational numbers. I'll try and have it up by tonight. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 19:30, 4 January 2010 (EST)

This is superb! In reply to Ed, I agree that the statement this confirms the multiplication of the loaves is over-the-top, though funny. Thanks for deleting the comedy.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:53, 4 January 2010 (EST)
:Thanks, Andy! For the record, I didn't add the fish and loaves stuff, that appears to be users named Foxtrot and Aroth. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 00:53, 5 January 2010 (EST)
== Purpose of Construction ==
:::Miracles are events that are logically possible but very rarely observed and unexplained by current understandings. But perhaps the obstacle is the understanding here, not the reality. And this "paradox" may provide a window that can be opened to a fuller understanding.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:44, 6 June 2010 (EDT)
 
== Distinction between living and non-living matter ==
 
The hypothetical duplication works better with non-living matter, such as bread and dead fish, than with ever-moving living matter, for which the infinitesimal division would be impossible by virtue of motion.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 20:46, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
