Answer 1

I’m not entirely sure that mathematicians conceptualized infinity. It almost feels like something religious that a mathematician borrowed because it fit in his equation at the time. The value of the undefined that is undefined buy not undefined, limited but unlimited in the sense that we know that the value exists but the quantity can’t be measured, only accounted for.
