Let me elaborate on Simon Henry's nice answer.
What we prove is that the Cohen algebra, the completion of the unique countable atomless Boolean algebra, is not isomorphic to any $\sigma$-algebra. Since the Cohen algebra has a countable dense set, this follows immediately from the following:
To see this, it suffices to show that everyLemma. If a $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma$ on a set $X$, where there ishas a countable dense set, hasthen it must have atoms. Fix any $x$, and fix
Proof. Enumerate the countable dense set $b_0,b_1,\ldots$ in $\Sigma$$b_0,b_1,\dots$, sowhere dense here means that every nonzerononempty set contains one of themin $\Sigma$ must contain some $b_k$ as a subset. FixNow fix any point $x\in X$$x$ in the underlying set, and let $a_n$ be either $b_n$ or the complement, so thatchosen to ensure $x\in a_n$. It follows that $\bigwedge_n a_n$ hasThus, $x$$x\in a^*$, but it must bewhere $0$$a^*=\bigcap_n a_n$ is the intersection. Notice that $a^*$ decides every $b_n$, sincein the sense that it is contained either in $b_n$'s are dense or in the complement. ContradictionSince it is not empty, it must therefore be an atom. QED
