In mathematics, just as division by zero is a problem, infinity is a problem. We have a symbol for infinity, but not one for division by zero (which is effectively the same thing.) So infinity either means “error”, “I dunno”, or “undefined limit”.
Part of the problem if not the cause of the problem is the foundation of mathematics in set theory(idealism) rather than operational computation (realism).
The dam**ed consequences of that screw-up caused the loss of analytic philosophy that crashed in the 20th century.
I blame Babbage for not writing papers and generalizing the theory instead of trying to make bigger computers.
The result was cantor-einstein-bohr’s re-mystification of mathematics, and today’s physics lost in mathiness.
