Totally Separated Space is Totally Disconnected

Theorem
Let $T = \left({X, \vartheta}\right)$ be a topological space which is totally separated.

Then $T$ is totally disconnected.

Proof
Let $T = \left({X, \vartheta}\right)$ be a totally separated space.

Then for every $x, y \in X: x \ne y$ there exists a partition $U \mid V$ of $T$ such that $x \in U, y \in V$.

Suppose $T$ were not totally disconnected.

Then $\exists H \subseteq S: x, y \in U$ such that $H$ is connected.

But by definition of connected, there can be no partition $U \mid V$ of $T$ such that $x \in U, y \in V$.

Hence the result.
