+\begin{definition}\label{universal_set}
+ A set $V$ is universal iff
+ %every set is an element of $V$.
+ for all sets $x$ we have $x\in V$.
+\end{definition}
+
+\begin{theorem}\label{no_universal_set}
+ There exists no universal set.
+\end{theorem}
+\begin{proof}
+ Suppose not.
+ Take a universal set $V$.
+ Let $R = \{ x\in V \mid x\not\in x \}$.
+ Then $R\in R$ iff $R\not\in R$.
+ Contradiction.
+\end{proof}
