Cantor Space is Nowhere Dense/Proof 2

Proof
Let $S_n$ and $C_n$ be as in the definition of the Cantor set as a limit of a decreasing sequence.

Then the length of every interval in $S_n$ is seen to be $\dfrac 1 {3^n} = 3^{-n}$.

Let $0 \le a < b \le 1$.

Then $\openint a b \subseteq \closedint 0 1$ is an open interval.

Let $n \in \N$ such that $3^{-n} < b - a$, so that the length of every interval in $S_n$ is $3^{-n} < b - a$.

Therefore, as the intervals in $S_n$ do not overlap, no interval of length $b - a$ is contained in $C_n = \ds \bigcup S_n$.

Consequently, as $\CC \subseteq C_n$, no interval of length $b - a$ is contained in $\CC$.

Since the interval $\openint a b$ was of arbitrary length, there do not exist any open intervals in $\CC$.

Hence the result, by definition of nowhere dense.
