elementary set theory - What could be said about the cardinality of bigcupiinIAi if I and all the Ai have cardinality 2aleph0



The countable union of a countable set is countable. Does the same hold for sets with cardinality |R|. More specifically, if Ai are sets of the same cardinality as the real numbers, and I is an index set also with cardinality |R|, is |iIAi|=|R|?


Answer



This question can be reduced to the question "is it true there is a bijection between R and R2?" The answer is yes.
