Joke aside, is there a field (or sub-fields) of mathematics that just... studies what breaking some axioms would do and where would it lead? This seems both completely stupid but also potentially fascinating at the same time.
That's a very misleading description of Banach-Tarski.
You need to break up the body into a few (very weird) pieces and maneuver them (via only rigid motions - rotations and translations).

For instance, with it, you can double the volume of a body by looking at it from a weird angle.

A lot of set-theory research is looking into the consequences of various axiomatic assumptions.
