Talk:Banach-Tarski Paradox (view source)
Revision as of 00:50, January 5, 2010

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)

:Er, well, I don't understand [[irrational numbers]]. I just know how to do arithmetic with them, based on the concept that '''i''' squared is -1. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 19:50, 4 January 2010 (EST)
