As omega is not a finite number, you have no finite distingusihability.

2^aleph_0 would be sufficient.

But there is a striking ground that is more fundamental than any wrong or correct logical conclusion, namely that you cannot find out any real number of the unit interval the path-representation of which is missing in my Binary Tree constructed from countable many paths. At least by nodes, you cannot distinguish further reals, can you?
