Gallagher–Lai–Weber topological Erdős similarity conjecture

Let XRX\subseteq\mathbb{R} be topologically universal if every dense GδG_\delta subset of R\mathbb{R} contains an affine copy of XX. Gallagher–Lai–Weber's conjecture. No uncountable subset of the real line is topologically universal. Countable sets are topologically universal by the Baire category theorem, and perfect sets are not; the conjecture is resolved in this paper for R\mathbb{R}, although the source does not state the resolution in the supplied span.
