i've never looked at it as a dilemma in this case. we have to start somewhere right? math is as precise a language as it gets and in many ways, universal. i bet if there were technologically advanced beings elsewhere in the Universe that they too speak the language of math.

but s4b makes good points, inifinity is simply a word for shit that we haven't figured out the math for, math = more human than human.
