Mathematicians Explain Why Some Lengths Can't Be Measured
Briefly

In the late 19th century, when experts attempted to cast mathematics on a stable foundation, set theory became the cornerstone, proposing that everything can be traced back to elementary sets, including geometric shapes and complex differential equations.
Mathematicians started to question how to measure abstract sets, like the interval [0, 1], leading to the necessity for a new measurement approach beyond traditional methods.
