I consider the background of CH given in the difference between number
and continuum. This might be crippled down to the truth? Do you agree?

No, I am sorry, I do not. The continuum is nothing but our failure to
look closely enough. In physics it lasted 2000 years to settle the idea
of the atom and to supplement and complete it by the uncertainty
relations. The majority of matematicians is not yet far sighted enough
to recognize the same situation in their realm.


We do not yet /know/ that the physical universe is not continuous, so
why should we reject a mathematically continuous real number system?
