Higher Powers
The set of all subsets of a set $A$ (its power set, $\mathcal{P}(A)$) always has a strictly greater cardinality than $A$. This relationship is formalized by Cantor's Theorem:
$$|A| < |\mathcal{P}(A)|$$ -

| Rational Numbers | $|\mathbb{Q}|$ | $\aleph_0$ | Countably equal |
| Real Numbers | $|\mathbb{R}|$ | $c$ | Uncountable ($c > \aleph_0$) |
| Power Set of $\mathbb{N}$ | $|\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N})|$ | $c$ or $\aleph1$ (under CH) | Successor to $\aleph0$ |
| Set of All Functions $\mathbb{N} \to \{0, 1\}$ | $|\{0, 1\}^\mathbb{N}|$ | $c$ | Equivalent to $\mathbb{R}$ |
