    Supports→An ideal solution to the Continuum Hypothesis problem — in which a generally accepted axiom causes most mathematicians to conclude that the Continuum Hypothesis is self-evidently true or false — is now impossible.

A set theoretic Platonist might say about the Continuum Hypothesis (CH) that, since there is “of course” a single universe of sets, CH is either true or false in that world, but that we cannot determine which of CH and \
