Of course they can be compressed into the interval (0, ω), as
every finite number n < ω, when doubled results in a finite number
2n which is also < ω.

Try to map the closed interval [0, ω]*2 = [0, ω*2].
If [0, ω) --> [0, ω) and ω*2 --> ω*2, then ω*2 is the only image
point in (ω, ω*2]. Infinitely many points remain empty. Crippled
mathematics. Ugly. Inacceptable.

[0, ω]*2 = { [0, w), ω } *2 = {[0, w), ω*2} since the Natural

Impossible if (0, ω) is completely filled. Every 2n is larger than n.

How can it be 100% completely filled when its unbounded?

 
Ask Cantor or Bolzano. It can also be completely counted - according to
Cantor.

 
How can you completely count an infinite unbounded set? You have some
issues WM... Deal with it. Your folly is not our problem... ;^o

WM takes himself to be a "finitist" - he denies that there is somewhere
in the universe any infinity "realized" (judging that math is happening
in the mental space), so he combats this idea and exacts "the existence"
of a first real number right to zero and a last finite number left to w
altogether with any idea of inifinite objects elsewhere in the universe.
