In ZFC there is no nonidentity elementary embedding , understood as an ordinary class embedding whose set restrictions and critical sequence are available. Let be the supremum of the Kunen critical sequence, so and . Partition the ordinals of cofinality below into stationary sets indexed by the critical point. After applying , the extra stationary cell at that critical point meets the club of ordinals closed under . Such an ordinal of countable cofinality is fixed by and hence belongs both to that extra cell and an old-index cell, a contradiction.
