An uncountable set is a set for which no bijection with a subset of the natural numbers exists.
An uncountable set is a set that cannot be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the set of natural numbers (i.e., it cannot be counted by listing its elements in a sequence like \(1, 2, 3, \ldots\)). This means that the elements of an uncountable set are too numerous to match with the natural numbers.
