Before modern science there was religion, and not much else. I don't know the history of infinity and I'm not looking it up (I leave for work in 45 mins and I'm not spending it at this desk). It's not much different now, but we can apply new rules to it. Sure we can apply God to this concept and say God is infinite in all ways, but that brings us no closer to realizing the concept.
Unless you had something else in mind. If so, do tell
Also, the speed of light is different through substances because of molecular interference. C defines light as light in a vacuum. Playing bumper cars does not change the speed of light.
