You need to realise that just because something makes sense in mathematics, it doesn't necessarily have implications for the real world.

Examples of stuff that can be proved mathematically but is conceptually useless in real life:

>Set of rational numbers (infinite) is smaller than the set of real numbers (infinite).
>You can make two spheres by breaking up one sphere and rearranging the pieces (Banach–Tarski paradox)

All these rely on infinitely large and infinitesimally small quantities.
