Easiest proof of existence of non-Lebesgue-measurable sets

72 Views Asked by At

I want to show a general audience of educated non-mathematicians that there are non-Lebesgue measurable subsets of $[0,1)$.

I think that (most of) my audience could follow the construction of the Vitali set, if I present it carefully enough. And that's the easiest proof I'm aware of.

Does anyone know an even easier proof?
