## Is this set uncountable

##S = \bigcup _{i=1}^{∞}\left\{{0,1}\right\}^i ##

methinks yes because:

##S = \bigcup _{i=1}^{∞}\left\{{0,1}\right\}^i \equiv \left\{{0,1}\right\}^\mathbb{N}##

This equality is false. Furthermore, the set on the right is uncountable. The set on the left is countable.

So how do we look at ##\left\{{0,1}\right\}^∞##?

What do you mean with $\infty$? The notation you are using now is not standard at all.

 I think that $S = \bigcup _{i=1}^{∞}\left\{{0,1}\right\}^i$ is countable all right. The mapping with $\mathbb{N}$ is quite obvious.
