(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 $X$.
\end{proof}
\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}.
\end{proof}
