We know that the cardinality of the natural numbers is less than the cardinality of the real numbers. The Continuum Hypothesis, which is a long unsolved problem, states that there are no sets with cardinality between the two. The posted article states that this new result strengthens the case against the hypothesis, that is that’s it’s probably false.

All of this is nuanced but is important to mathematics and philosophy.
