A subset Y of a metric space (X, p) is called rigid if all the distances p(y1, y2) between points y1, y2 ∈ Y in Y are mutually different. The main purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of dense rigid subsets of cardinality c in Euclidean spaces En and in the separable Hilbert space l2. Some applications to abstract point set geometries are given and the connection with the theory of dimension is discussed.
