(Earlier Goedel showed that a positive answer is consistent with the axioms). Several mathematicians proposed definite answers or approaches towards such answers regarding what the answer for the CH (and GCH) should be. The question My question asks for a description and explaination of the various approaches to the continuum hypothesis in a language which could be understood by non-professionals. More background I am aware of the existence of 2-3 approaches. One is by Woodin described in two 2001 Notices of the AMS papers ( part 1 part 2 Another by Shelah (perhaps in this paper ). See also the paper entitled " You can enter Cantor paradize " (Offered in Haim's answer.); There is a very nice presentation by Matt Foreman discussing Woodin's approach and some other avenues.

Mathematics is a broad-ranging field of study in which the properties and interactions of idealized objects are examined. Whereas mathematics began merely as a calculational tool for computation and tabulation of quantities, it has blossomed into an extremely rich and diverse set of tools, terminologies, and approaches which range from the purely abstract to the utilitarian.

69. The Continuum Hypothesis The Continuum Hypothesis The continuum hypothesis (CH) states that there are no sets bigger than the integers and smaller than the real numbers. http://continuum-hypothesis.com/ch.html

The Continuum Hypothesis The continuum hypothesis (CH) states that there are no sets bigger than the integers and smaller than the real numbers. (A set X is "bigger" than a set Y if there is no one-to-one function from X to Y). CH was formulated by Georg Cantor around 1880. This seems pretty straightforward, kind of like saying that there are no integers between and 1. It should be easy to prove or disprove, right? Wrong. No one made any progress on it, and in 1900 David Hilbert put it first on his famous list of 23 open problems. Remarkably, it turns out that CH can be neither proved nor disproved from the current axioms of mathematics. The two parts of this assertion were proved by Kurt Godel (in 1940) and Paul Cohen (in 1963). For his part of the proof, Cohen invented a general-purpose technique called "forcing". When I retire, I vow to learn about forcing, starting by reading Forcing for Dummies In other words, unless a new axiom comes along - some basic, obvious fact that has somehow eluded mathematicians to date - we will never know if CH is true or false . This is analogous to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which proves (from the axioms of quantum mechanics) that we can't measure both the position and momentum of a particle. It imposes a hard upper bound on what we puny humans can know.

Is the Continuum Hypothesis True, False, or Neither? David J. Chalmers Newsgroups: sci.math From: chalmers@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu (David Chalmers) Subject: Continuum Hypothesis - Summary Date: Wed, 13 Mar 91 21:29:47 GMT Thanks to all the people who responded to my enquiry about the status of the Continuum Hypothesis. This is a really fascinating subject, which I could waste far too much time on. The following is a summary of some aspects of the feeling I got for the problems. This will be old-hat to set theorists, and no doubt there are a couple of embarrassing misunderstandings, but it might be of some interest to non-professionals. A basic reference is Gödel's "What is Cantor's Continuum Problem?", from 1947 with a 1963 supplement, reprinted in Benacerraf and Putnam's collection Philosophy of Mathematics . This outlines Gödel's generally anti-CH views, giving some "implausible" consequences of CH. "I believe that adding up all that has been said one has good reason to suspect that the role of the continuum problem in set theory will be to lead to the discovery of new axioms which will make it possible to disprove Cantor's conjecture." At one stage he believed he had a proof that C = aleph_2 from some new axioms, but this turned out to be fallacious. (See Ellentuck, "Gödel's Square Axioms for the Continuum", Mathematische Annalen 1975.)

List All List Recent List Popular ... Francis Edward Su From the Fun Fact files, here is a Fun Fact at the Advanced level: Continuum Hypothesis We have seen in the Fun Fact Cantor Diagonalization that the real numbers (the "continuum") cannot be placed in 1-1 correspondence with the rational numbers . So they form an infinite set of a different "size" than the rationals, which are countable. It is not hard to show that the set of all subsets (called the power set ) of the rationals has the same "size" as the reals. But is there a "size" of infinity between the rationals and the reals? Cantor conjectured that the answer is no. This came to be known as the Continuum Hypothesis Many people tried to answer this question in the early part of this century. But the question turns out to be PROVABLY undecidable ! In other words, the statement is indepedent of the usual axioms of set theory! It is possible to prove that adding the Continuum Hypothesis or its negation would not cause a contradiction.

74. Continuum Hypothesis Cantor's Continuum Hypothesis The Continuum Hypothesis Infinity has infinite ways to trouble our finite minds. http://users.forthnet.gr/ath/kimon/Continuum.htm

The Continuum Hypothesis Infinity has ... infinite ways to trouble our finite minds. This was proved by Georg Cantor in 1874. The "smallest level" of infinity has to do with countable things that can be put in some order. . This seems strange: one set is a proper subset of another and still they have the same number of elements. This is exactly the definition of infinite sets. What about rational numbers? These are a superset of the natural numbers but still of class aleph . It turns out that there is a way to put rational numbers in order: 1, 2, 1/2, 1/3, 3, 4, 3/2, 2/3, 1/4 ... (the pattern is based on a diagram so it is not obvious as shown here). Things change when we examine the real numbers. There is no way to create a complete list of reals and this was shown by Cantor with a beautiful argument, the "diagonal" one: Suppose we had such a complete list of real numbers between and 1 : r1=0.a a a r2=0.a a a r3=0.a a a Where a ij take values in 0,1,...,9 and all numbers are written with infinite number of digits (e.g. 0.2=0.20000..., 1/7=0.142857142857...). Then we can create another real r'=0.b
