It's interesting how Aristotle noticed that whether infinity does exist or whether it does not exist, both will have contradictions. If it does exist, then surely something like an infinite amount of dogs would run out of space to exist and if it did not exist, then it would contradict the ability of numbers to go on.

The prevailing view among mathematicians is that it does exist, but there is an important minority that rejects the idea. They’re called finitists. Both sides have had equally important historical figures as proponents.
