There is a lot wrong with the concept of a “completed infinity” though. Infinity is fine as a concept for something that has no bounds but when you start doing things like saying you can calculate the sum of an infinite series that’s where it falls apart. A thing cannot be “itself and more” that violates the law of identity. That’s why there are so many paradoxes when you start working with infinity. Contradictions in science are a sign one of your assumptions is wrong. I realize that the implications of this are widespread and I’m not in a position to try to fix the last 100 years of mathematics. But that’s the cool thing about logic. I know a fact when I see one.
