Welcome to math's greatest existential crisis! The Continuum Hypothesis asks if there's a set size between integers and reals, and mathematicians respond with "depends which mathematical universe you live in." It's literally Schrödinger's mathematical truth - simultaneously unprovable AND undisprovable. Gödel and Cohen showed it's independent of standard axioms, meaning you can choose your own mathematical reality. Next time someone asks for a simple yes/no answer in mathematics, just laugh maniacally and whisper "axiom-dependent" while maintaining uncomfortable eye contact.
