It is easy to see that the answer must be no. If there were such a set, then we could form the supremum of all ordinal numbers. That supremum would be an ordinal number greater than or equal to every ordinal number. Since, however, for each ordinal number there exists a strictly greater one (for example, its successor), this is impossible; it makes no sense to speak of the \"set\" of all ordinals."

Consequently these sets have the same cardinality. Consequently to any ordinal number α we may assign a cardinal number, the common cardinality of all well-ordered sets of type α."

It is easy to see that the answer must be no. If there were such a set, then we could form the supremum of all ordinal numbers. That supremum would be an ordinal number greater than or equal to every ordinal number. Since, however, for each ordinal number there exists a strictly greater one (for example, its successor), this is impossible; it makes no sense to speak of the \"set\" of all ordinals."

Consequently these sets have the same cardinality. Consequently to any ordinal number α we may assign a cardinal number, the common cardinality of all well-ordered sets of type α."
