*Flair may be wrong*
In: Mathematics
We don’t experience any infinities in the real world, so there has never been any evolutionary advantage to having an understanding of infinities.
It’s a bit like how we can do maths in four or more dimensions, but the real world that we interact with has three spatial dimensions, so we can’t visualise any more than that.
Even mathematicians treat many infinities as not being real, though some are such as the number of integers (whole numbers) starting from 0.
