Is there *any actual example* of infinity in physics? I’m reading about Ramanujan’s summation method to assign a value to a divergent series (eg, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + … = -1/12), and it seems to me that *every time* infinity shows up in equations, it’s nature’s way of telling physicists that their model is wrong

However, in physics infinity is a valuable tool. Also, we have to able to distinguish between actual infinity and potential infinity. Questions of the universe size still challenging.
