Series: Penn State Logic Seminar Date: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 Time: 2:30 - 3:45 PM Place: 113 McAllister Building Speaker: Richard Mansfield, Penn State, Mathematics Title: The Banach-Tarski Paradox Abstract: We show that a solid sphere the size of a pea can be divided into five pieces and then reassembled to form a new solid sphere the size of the sun. Some may debate the words "can be" since the decomposition cannot be carried out physically.
