Uncountably Infinite

The mathematical term for an infinite collection whose members cannot be put into a one-one correspondence with a collection of natural numbers.

Examples are the set containing all real numbers, the set of points on a line interval, and the set of all sets of natural numbers.

Contrast with CountablyInfinite and see CantorsProof.
