How can there be different types of infinities?
I just learned that cardinality of set of natural numbers, integers, prime numbers is alepho. Why are we replacing infinity with a number i.e. alepho.
And what further blows my mind is that cardinality of real numbers is also infinity but a different one - its is aleph1.
How can there be different types of infinities?
Just as I thought I understood infinity I think I don't have a clue about it now.
Help me
