| − | The '''Well-Ordering Theorem''' was proved by Zermelos in 1904, and it states: | + | A place where nobody dared to go |
| − | <blockquote>
| + | The love that we came to know |
| − | ''Every set can be well-ordered''. | + | They call it Xanadu |
| − | </blockquote>

| − | This result surprised [[mathematician]]s everywhere. The Well-Ordering Theorem is equivalent of the [[Axiom of Choice]], and no well-ordering relation has ever been explicitly constructed for [[uncountable set]]s. Thus, the mathematicians who reject the Axiom of Choice also reject this theorem.
