No. There is no x e N such that 2*x >= omega. You have listed two
consecutive infinities on the right.
There is a basic law: When a sequence of regular distances is multiplied by 2, then a sequence of regular distances results.
The interval (0, ω)*2 becomes (0, ω*2) with ω in the middle. Below ω the newly created even numbers cannot be inserted, because more than all even natural numbers do not exist in actual infinity.
Every contrary opinion is based on potential infinity.
