omega is the first infinite ordinal. It is not larger than the natural numbers, it *is* the natural numbers.
Well, actually, it is larger than _each and every_ natural number.
Using symbols: An e IN: n < ω.
Using a common depiction: 0 < 1 < 2 < 3 < ... < ω.
See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_numberOn the other hand, you are right, in the context of axiomatic set theory (if the natural numbers and the ordinals defined due to von Neumann) we do have IN = ω.
