It is a remarkable theorem but you can't take a snooker ball and turn it into two snooker balls without being Paul Daniels (UK magician). This is an excellent example of language going astray and confusing mathematic rigour with some sort of "reality". You can loosely model a "sphere in R3" with a snooker ball in errr the universe thingie which is probably R3ish or perhaps R3T1 or whatevs. Besides someone has spilt a whole pint of Guinness on the table and the balls are chipped. Even if we get our match balls out that are not chipped, and are jolly shiney, they are still subject to things like Mr Planck's constant and the fine structure of matter. The point is quite literally in the title - don't balls it up!
