Continuum Hypothesis

A conjecture regarding the possible sizes of infinite sets, suggesting there is no set with a cardinality strictly between the integers and the real numbers. First proposed by Georg Cantor, it became a central focus of twentieth-century logic. It was eventually shown to be independent of the standard axioms of set theory, meaning it can be neither proven nor disproven within that framework.
