Would you believe that these five pieces can be reassembled in such a fashion so as to create two apples equal in shape and size to the original?
Written in an engaging style, The Pea and the Sun catalogues the people, events, and mathematics that contributed to the discovery of Banach and Tarski's magical paradox. Neither did Leonard Wapner, author of The Pea and the Sun, when he was first introduced to the Banach-Tarski paradox, which asserts exactly such a notion. Wapner makes one of the most interesting problems of advanced mathematics accessible to the
