What did Cantor say about his theory?

  • It was incomplete

  • It was a divine communication

  • It was an accident

  • It was a hypothesis

Answer

In his revolutionary work, Georg Cantor claimed his theory of set theory was a divine revelation. He viewed sets as existing independently of human perception, and he attributed their existence to a higher, transcendent order. Cantor believed that he was merely discovering these mathematical truths rather than creating them, emphasizing the objective nature of mathematics and its inherent harmony with the universe.
