How come actual infinities can only exist in math but not in the physical world? I know there are plenty of examples of potential infinities in physical reality but no actual infinities that we know of. Physics either gets violated when you add in infinities, or if a theory predicts an object with some such property which is infinite in the math, like black holes, the theory is incomplete because there are no actual infinities. Is it a valid assumption to make about reality that there are no actual infinities in the physical world? What does this even tell us about the nature of math?
