“Hale’s Theorem”

Hale's Theorem is a result in the field of mathematics, particularly in set theory and large cardinals. It essentially states that under certain conditions, if you have a certain type of infinite set, you can create a larger set that maintains specific properties. This is important for understanding the foundation of mathematics and how different types of infinity interact. The theorem reflects deeper insights into the nature of mathematical structures and helps clarify the relationships between various infinite sets. It's named after mathematician Harold Hale, who contributed to this area of research.
