Indeed. It's at the level of beauty, romance, poetry,
   experience, the awe-and-wonder circuits (if one wants to get
   computational-theory-of-mind... which to me just makes a nice
   metaphor but not really accurate per se). Infinities are one of
   the religious components of mathematics. It has several others I
   can think of but that's one of the big ones. They're also very
   useful as well but the usefulness doesn't take away from the
   inspiration it brings to people. == holographic principle...
   fractal universe - even with our fancy formulations of it, it
   amounts to the crack that deepens with no end. == One of the
   places I think modern Sciences "misses the boat" with Newton is
   in his treatment of Impetus... well, Inertia. Newton had a
   distinction between internal and external Inertia. He was
   considering both as possibilities. We currently entirely reject
   the internal inertia in our modern definitions. It's a missed
   opportunity. Useful and practical? Sure, but it misses some good
   opportunities for further exploration by our insistence on
   objectivity.
