(It had been known for some time — see below — that it is consistent with the axioms of set theory to suppose that CH is true.) Example: 2013, Kenneth Reinhard, Introduction, Susan Spitzer (translator), Alain Badiou, The Incident at Antioch: A Tragedy in Three Acts / L’Incident d’Antioche: Tragédie en trois actes, Columbia University Press, page xxxiii, After all, when Paul Cohen sent his proof of the undecidability of the continuum hypothesis (which Badiou considers an “event”) to Kurt Gödel in 1963, Gödel wrote back that “reading your proof had a similarly pleasant effect on me as seeing a good play." 2. The assumption, for the purposes of mathematical modelling, that the material being studied is a continuous mass rather than being composed of discrete particles. Example: Under the continuum hypothesis, the material being studied, whether it be solid liquid or gas, is assumed to be continuous. Example: Because matter is composed of molecules, the continuum hypothesis implies that a very small volume will contain a large number of molecules.
