Well, if you remove one element from an uncountable set, then...

you can't prove something just by assuming it that would be trivial, if we can build or convince ourselves how to build a wormhole or a time machine then we can believe in Real numbers
What Koshkin says is correct and has already been proven by others. You want to get a book that covers sets, maps and cardinal numbers, and read it carefully if you are interested in this sort of stuff.
I can see that you can symbolically talk about the power set of (0,1) and say it's cardinality is bigger than the set itself (although I haven't studied sets and cardinalities deeply enough) but I can't see what Real numbers offers against the computable Universe hypothesis
