i need to show that there exists a class of sets A which is a subset of P(Q) such that it satisfies:
1) |A|=c (c is the cardinality of the reals)
2) for every A1,A2 which are different their intersection is finite (or empty).
basically i think that i need to use something else iv'e proven: which for every a in R, let s(a) in Q^N is an increasing sequence which converges to a, then |{s(a)|a in R}|=c
i think that such a class could be: A={P(A')||A'|<alephnull} where A' is a subset of Q, A is the union of all P(A') where A' is Q.
im not sure if A's cardinality is c, but other than this example i don't see how to show it.
i think it's related to what i typed in the second paragraph, perhaps i need to find a subset to {s(a)|a in R} which is still uncountable, but i don't see how.
