But Alelph_0, the size of the second, is also the size of the first, as Aleph_0 - 1 is Aleph_0.
As I said, cardinality cannot describe this difference of one element.

Because the property that "cardinality" describes doesn't have that difference.
It is only in your IGNORANCE that you think the two sets have different size,
You would need to go to some trans-trans-finite mathematics to handle that mathematics. Since you don't think that even "normal" infinity can exist, that is beyond your thinking.
Sorry, but your logic is just going super-nova and leaving you in total and utter darkness by its contradictions.
