Usually cardinals are defined by means of ordinals. In this paper the author shows that the notion of cardinality is independent from that of well-ordering, and so is independent from ordinals in ZF set theory. Motivating physical phenomena concerning quantum mechanics and the problem of individuality are discussed.
