The Cantor ternary set is created by repeatedly deleting the open middle thirds of a set of line segments.
Cantor and construction

In 1878, Cantor published a construction that proves there are as many transcendental numbers as there are real numbers.
Note that, commonly, 2 < sup > ω </ sup > is referred to simply as the Cantor set, while the term Cantor space is reserved for the more general construction of D < sup > S </ sup > for a finite set D and a set S which might be finite, countable or possibly uncountable.
