Banach-Tarski is not a paradox. You are partitioning a unit sphere into non-measurable sets, for which there is no notion of volume (and they are also physically impossible). Reassembling them to form two spheres is surprising, but not paradoxical. After all, you can rearrange the points of the closed interval [0, 2023] to form the interval [0, 1]. Does that mean 2023 = 1 ?!
