I was referring to post # 72.
Infinity is a useful concept. That is all. It exists at least as much as a leprechaun does in that both are concepts. But this kind of existence isn't interesting since you can't ask whether it infinity exists conceptually without answering your own question.
Any guesses as to whether it actually exists outside the conceptual realm are just guesses. When a person guesses, it is because they don't know. The only certain statement regarding the actual existence of infinity is "I don't know."
And I also might add that mathematical proofs don't necessarily always describe how things occur in reality.
