	Uncountable set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, an uncountable or nondenumerable set is a set which is not countable.
		The best known example of an uncountable set is the set R of all real numbers; Cantor's diagonal argument shows that this set is uncountable.
		The diagonalization proof technique can also be used to show that several other sets are uncountable as well, for instance the set of all infinite sequences of natural numbers (and even the set of all infinite sequences consisting only of zeros and ones) and the set of all subsets of natural numbers.
