Mathematical Evidence Backing $|\mathbb{R}|=\aleph_2$
The "true" size of the real line, $\mathbb{R}$, has been the subject of Hilbert's first problem. Due to the Goedel and Cohen's work on the inner and outer models of $\text{ZFC}$, it turned out to be u …

On independence and large cardinal strength of physical statements
The present post is intended to tackle the possible interactions of two bizarre realms of extremely large and extremely small creatures, namely large cardinals and quantum physics.
Maybe after all tho …

Forcing and Family Contentions: Who wins the disputes?
The famous game-theoretic couple, Alice & Bob, live in the set-theoretic universe, $V$, a model of $ZFC$. Just like many other couples they sometimes argue over a statement, $\sigma$, expressible in t …

What is the modal logic of outer multiverse?
The mathematical multiverse could be viewed as a gigantic Kripke model with models of $ZFC$ as possible worlds connected to each other via a certain accessibility relation.
The modal logic associated …

On the Large Cardinal Strength of Normal Moore Space Conjecture
In his seminal 1937 paper, Jones [1] proved the following result about Moore spaces:
Theorem. (Jones) If $2^{\aleph_0}<2^{\aleph_1}$ then all separable normal Moore spaces are metrizable.
Then h …

On the Actual Potential of Virtual Large Cardinals
Virtual large cardinals belong to a relatively new breed of strong axioms of infinity. They often appear as statements of the following form:
Definition. Suppose $A$ is a large cardinal property c …
