In mathematics, a topological space is said to be weakly contractible if all of its homotopy groups are trivial.

It follows from Whitehead's Theorem that if a CW-complex is weakly contractible then it is contractible.

Define $S^{\infty }$ to be the inductive limit of the spheres $S^{n},n\geq 1$ . Then this space is weakly contractible. Since $S^{\infty }$ is moreover a CW-complex, it is also contractible. See Contractibility of unit sphere in Hilbert space for more.
