I am trying to find a source that states, it is consistent with ZFC that weakly inaccessible cardinal does not exist. Can I please get some sources? It was quite hard for me to find such.
Indeed, I could find in Jech's textbook that "one cannot prove the existence of weakly inaccessible cardinals within ZFC." Does this imply that ZFC+"there does not exist weakly inaccessible cardinals" are consistent? If so, why?
If a first-order theory (e.g. ZFC) cannot prove statement $\lnot S$ from axioms $\mathcal A$ (which itself assumes $\mathcal A$ is consistent, otherwise it could prove any statement!), then $\mathcal A\cup\{S\}$ is consistent. This should be common knowledge.
Formal proof: as per Deduction theorem, if $\mathcal A\cup\{S\}$ is inconsistent (proves $\bot$), then $\mathcal A$ proves $S\to\bot$, which is the same as proving $\lnot S$.
