Cardinality of the continuum

Cardinality of the continuum

In set theory, the cardinality of the continuum refers to the size of the set of real numbers, denoted by c or |R|. This concept, proven by Georg Cantor, asserts that there are more real numbers than natural numbers and that the number of elements in the set of real numbers is equal to the power set of the natural numbers. The continuum hypothesis, which suggests that there are no sets with a cardinality between aleph-null (ℵ0) and c, remains undecidable within the Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory with axiom of choice (ZFC).
