Banach-Tarski Burger Paradox
Banach-Tarski paradox 1 Imagine a burger. 2 Divide it into 5 pieces with an unmeasurable knife. 3 Rearrange the pieces. 4 Now you have two burgers.
A four-panel diagram shows a burger being divided into five pieces with an “unmeasurable knife,” rearranged, and somehow turned into two identical burgers. The joke illustrates the counterintuitive Banach–Tarski paradox by applying its impossible-sounding mathematics to a hamburger.
