Apr 28, 2019 at 0:11 comment added Andreas Blass The answer to the added, more precise question is yes: If ZFC is consistent, it remains so when one adds that the set in the question is uncountable.
Apr 27, 2019 at 22:03 comment added Noah Schweber @JörgNeunhäuserer Much of the general situation - much broader than merely $\mathbb{R}$ - is summarized by Easton's theorem. This isn't the end of the story, but in some sense it shows that many (if not most) of the "naive" questions about cardinality can't be resolved in ZFC alone.

Apr 27, 2019 at 18:41 comment added Asaf Karagila If I told you that I can prove that $A\subseteq\Bbb R$ is either empty or it's not, and then I say "now assume it's not empty". What is the cardinality of $A$?
Apr 27, 2019 at 18:14 comment added Monroe Eskew It is independent. It can take nearly any ordinal value.
