Can't see the other side- if it's a 2 dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional object in can still be accurate because of perspective.

Generally explosions do in fact involve an object suddenly increasing in volume (with corresponding decrease in density)
Said objects typically become partially gaseous, but if the rest of it is porous then it's not unusual at all for that to increase in volume also.
Easy example: popcorn.
Why assume it started off as a sphere? Everything makes sense if it started off as an irregular blob.
I mean, its representing a 3 dimensional object, so a lot of those "areas" are actually volumes which can stack "behind" one another
Sphere looks like circle. Chop sphere in half, lay flat, looks like two circles. BOOM, Banach-Tarski!
Only if you assume the object was round. I mean it was almost certainly meant to be round, but it could be right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do you people hate the SAUCE? What sort of savagery is this?

Blame Banach and Tarski
On a similar note, I don't know which doofus created the cancerogenic warning symbol. It's so stupid that I didn't understand it when I first saw it and thought it meant that it irritates breathing or something. Truly stupid.
Could you link to the symbol? It's not on the Wikipedia list of hazard symbols
It's the middle bottom one here, isn't it
It just means the explosion had so much energy some of it was converted to mass. As you cannot determine what kind of explosion that is, this explanation cannot be disproven in general terms.
