Suslin's problem: is every complete dense unbounded linear order satisfying the countable chain condition (every family of disjoint open intervals is countable) isomorphic to the real line? A counterexample — a Suslin line — exists under \(V = L\) and consistently fails to exist. Status, honestly: independent of ZFC.
Suslin posed it in 1920, asking whether the countable chain condition characterises the real line. Jensen (1970s) showed \(\diamondsuit\) (hence \(V = L\)) implies Suslin lines exist; Solovay–Tennenbaum (1971) built, by iterated forcing, a model with none. So like the continuum hypothesis and Borel's conjecture, it is independent of ZFC (assuming consistency) — neither provable nor refutable from the standard axioms.
