(2) $\Rightarrow$ (1): By \autoref{definition:embedding-in-cube}, $X$ embeds into $[0, 1]^{C(X; [0, 1])}$, which is a uniform space. The subspace uniformity on $X$ then induces the topology on $X$.

\begin{theorem}[Uryson Metrisation Theorem]
\label{theorem:urysohn-metrisation}
Let $X$ be a second countable regular space, then $X$ is metrisable.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
By \autoref{proposition:second-countable-regular}, $X$ is normal. Let $\cb \subset 2^X$ be a countable base for $X$, and let
\[
\mathcal{S} = \bracsn{(E, F) \in \mathcal{B}^2 | \ol{E} \subset F}
\]
By \hyperref[Urysohn's Lemma]{lemma:urysohn}, for each $(E, F) \in \mathcal{S}$, there exists $f_{EF} \in C(X; [0, 1])$ such that $f|_E = 1$ and $f|_{F^c} = 0$. For any $x \in X$ and $U \in \cn^o_X(x)$, there exists $E, F \in \mathcal{B}$ such that $x \in E \subset \ol{E} \subset F \subset U$. Thus $f_{EF}(x) = 1$ and $f_{EF}|_{U^c} = 0$. Therefore
\[
\cf = \bracsn{f_{EF}|(E, F) \in \mathcal{S}} \subset C(X; [0, 1])
\]
is a countable family of continuous functions that separate points and closed sets. By \autoref{definition:embedding-in-cube}, $X$ embeds into $[0, 1]^{\cf}$, which is metrisable by \autoref{proposition:countable-metric}.

Let $X$ be a topological space, then $X$ is \textbf{first countable} if for every $x \in X$, there exists a countable fundamental system of neighbourhoods at $x$.

Let $X$ be a topological space, then $X$ is \textbf{second countable} if it admits a countable base.

\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:second-countable-regular}
Let $X$ be a second countable regular space, then $X$ is normal.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
Let $\cb \subset 2^X$ be a base for $X$ and $A, B \subset X$ be disjoint closed sets. For each $x \in A$ and $y \in B$, there exists $U_x, V_y \in \cb$ such that $x \in \ol{U_x} \subset B^c$ and $y \in \ol{V_y} \subset B^c$. Since $\cb$ is countable, let $\seq{U_n}$ and $\seq{V_n}$ be enumerations of $\bracs{U_x|x \in A}$ and $\bracs{V_y|y \in B}$, respectively.
For each $n \in \natp$, let
\[
U_n' = U_n \setminus \bigcup_{j = 1}^n \ol{V_j} \quad V_n' = V_n \setminus \bigcup_{j = 1}^n \ol{V_j}
\]
then $U_n'$ and $V_n'$ are both open. Let
\[
U = \bigcup_{n \in \natp}U_n' \quad V = \bigcup_{n \in \natp}V_n'
\]
then $U \in \cn_X(A)$ and $V \in \cn_X(B)$. For each $m, n \in \natp$ with $m \le n$, $V_n \cap \bigcup_{j = 1}^n U_j = \emptyset$, so $U_m \cap V_n = \emptyset$. Likewise, if $m \ge n$, then $U_m \cap V_n = \emptyset$ as well. Therefore $U \cap V = \emptyset$.
