Introductory texts on Paul Cohen’s proof to the Undecidability of the Continuum Hypothesis. These explain a bit on his idea of the ‘generic set’ and his method of ‘forcing’. I was told that some people did not get this by email, so I post the links here:

“What is Forcing?” (the least technical text I found):
