Concepts exist only in our minds. Does the number '4' exist?
If there are four apples on a plate . . . the apples are not 'aware' that they are in a group of 4 . . . . the just exist individually. The idea that there are 4 of them is our way of counting them. If we use binary instead of base 10 to count them then there wouldnt be 4 of them (I am sure some clever person on here can tell me what 4 is in binary!).

Whats binary for infinity?
