"Infinity" may not exist.
Post Body

There's a renowned mathematician called Doron Zeilberger who is arguing that infinity is nothing more than a human construction to make very big numbers calculable.

He's come up with many clever ways to solve problems of infinity and new math to work around it.

I first learned of this some time ago through a Swedish article in a science mag that I'm unable to share.

But here are some sources for you to read at least.
