This last designation he applied to whatever cardinal number comes next in order after aleph-null; its identity with C, the number of real numbers or "power of the continuum," is a famous conjecture of Cantor's, his "continuum hypothesis.". From Wordnik.com. [An Infinity of Points] Reference
Both sets have a count or cardinality equal to the transfinite number א 0 - aleph-null. From Wordnik.com. [TierneyLab] Reference
As for the aleph-null and aleph-one: it was proven that the continuum hypothesis essentially whether the cardinality of real numbers is aleph-one or higher is undecidable in standard set theory, so whether you want to accept it or not, you won’t hit any contradictions.
