Every number that we can construct can be constructed in a finite amount of symbols. For example sqrt(2) is an unambiguous description of itself. Without use of the sqrt function, we can also call it the number x such that x*x=2. However, every description is a finite string constructed from a finite alphabet. We can easily show that the set of all such descriptions is countably infinite. However, we can also show that the set of all real numbers is uncountably infinite. Therefore, there is an uncountable infinity of real numbers that cannot be constructed.
