We consider the question whether there exists a Banach space X of density continuum such that every Banach space of density at most continuum isomorphically embeds into X (called a universal Banach space of density c). It is well known that ℓ∞/c0 is such a space if we assume the continuum hypothesis. Some additional set-theoretic assumption is indeed needed, as we prove in the main result of this paper that it is consistent with the usual axioms of set-theory that there is no universal Banach space of density c. Thus, the problem of the existence of a universal Banach space of density c is undecidable using the usual axioms of set-theory.We also prove that it is consistent that there are universal Banach spaces of density c, but ℓ∞/c0 is not among them. This relies on the proof of the consistency of the nonexistence of an isomorphic embedding of C([0, c]) into ℓ∞/c0.
