Reals are Uncountable by Cantor Diagonalization

A set is called countable if there exists a bijection from the positive integers to that set. On the other hand, an infinite set that is not countable is called uncountable. In this video, we show that the real numbers are uncountable using a method par excellence called Cantor diagonalization. There are also some nuances of the decimal system that we circumvent in the process.
