from a Gregory Chaitin paper:
"One of Cantor's crucial ideas is the distinction between the
denumerable or countable infinite sets, such as the positive integers
or the rational numbers, and the much larger nondenumerable or
uncountable infinite sets, such as the real numbers or the points in
the plane or in space."
