The continuum hypothesis is a concept in mathematics that deals with the sizes of different types of infinity. It suggests that there is no set of numbers whose size is strictly between that of the integers (like 1, 2, 3, ...) and the real numbers (which include all the decimal numbers). In simpler terms, it questions whether there are different "levels" of infinity between the countable infinity of whole numbers and the uncountable infinity of real numbers. Despite its simplicity, this hypothesis remains unproven and is a significant topic in set theory.
