Can you explain to a brainlet why the Banach–Tarski paradox is so controversial?

It's only "controversial" among the pop-math crowd who don't actually understand it.

What the fuck this theory is retarded what next my dick can be chopped up to contain the entirety of the observable universe?

The only think that I got from that is that dividing inifitny by 2 is still infinity which isn't such a wild claim.
banach-tarski paradox isn't controversial, just a weird example of the shit you can do with ZFC
if anything is controversial it's ZFC

>dividing inifitny by 2
That's what you don't get, you divide a finite volume in a finite number of pieces.
Dividing an apple in 2 shouldn't give you 2 apples.

so? is it really the axiom of choice the problem in this?
>>8619253
yes
>>8619258
Can you explain what actually happens with the axiom of choice with this using the boxes of socks analogy?
they cheat by duplicating vertices, obviously it doesn't make sense.
also they use real numbers which haven't even been defined.
its sham math

If your dick is topologically a sphere, then yes
