= Hausdorff paradox
{wiki=Hausdorff_paradox}
The Hausdorff Paradox is a result in set theory and topology that deals with the properties of certain sets in higher-dimensional spaces. It is named after the German mathematician Felix Hausdorff, who discovered it in the early 20th century. The paradox arises when considering the concept of "measuring" sets in Euclidean space. Specifically, it illustrates the existence of a paradoxical decomposition of sets, particularly in the context of infinite sets and measures.
