[edit intro]

A Dowker space is a topological space which is normal but not countably paracompact.

C.H. Dowker had characterised these spaces^[1] in 1951 as those normal spaces for which the product with the unit interval is not normal, and asked whether any such space existed. M.E. Rudin constructed an example^[2] in 1971, and Zoltán Balogh gave the first ZFC construction^[3] of a small (cardinality continuum) example.
