In the mathematical field of set theory, the continuum means the real numbers, or the corresponding (infinite) cardinal number, c. Georg Cantor proved that the cardinality c is larger than the smallest infinity, namely, ℵ. He also proved that c equals 2, the cardinality of the power set of the natural numbers.
