Aleph-Null () is the cardinality of the set of the natural numbers and Omega () is the infinite ordinal corresponding to that cardinal. But still equals while does not equal ! I get this when I read about Hilbert's Hotel. Same with that so the cardinality of the set of integers is the same as the set of natural numbers. It is also the same as the set of rational numbers (see An easy proof that rational numbers are countable)! However the cardinality of the set of irrational and real and imaginary (probably, because a pure imaginary number is just , where is a real number and is the imaginary unit) and complex numbers is and the ordinal that corresponds to it is ! The Aleph and Omega numbers do continue on.

I read that there are three of these ‘alephs’,and ℵ2 stands for the number of all geometric curves.
Also note that the number of complex numbers is equal to the number of dots on a plane.
I remember a video I watched a while ago that said the ω's continue, each one infinitely bigger than the last. Same goes for the ℵ's. That means one minus the last is what you started with.
