Uncountable Finite Complement Space is not First-Countable

Theorem
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a finite complement topology on an uncountable set $S$.

Then $T$ is not first-countable

Proof
some $x \in S$ has a countable local basis.

That means:
 * there exists a countable set $\BB_x \subseteq \tau$

such that:
 * $\forall B \in \BB_x: x \in B$

and such that:
 * every open neighborhood of $x$ contains some $B \in \BB_x$.

So:

By definition, each of $S \setminus B$ is finite.

From Countable Union of Countable Sets is Countable it follows that $\displaystyle \bigcup_{B \mathop \in \BB_x} \paren {S \setminus B}$ is countable.

So $S \setminus \set x$ and therefore $S$ is also countable.

From this contradiction (as we have specified that $S$ is uncountable) it follows that our assumption that $x \in S$ has a countable local basis must be false.

Hence by definition $T$ can not be first-countable.
