# Enormities and Enormitesimals The insight that we live in a finite and limited universe compels us to admit that infinities and infinitesimals are impossible and inconceivable. One therefore gets a correct description of existence's mathematical extremes if the infinities are replaced by enormities and the infinitesimals are replaced by enormitesimals. Correspondingly, the number zero can never have the value zero, since its mere existence in itself generates an oscillating value whose average may be zero but that never at any point in time can be exactly zero.
