I dunno about proving you wrong, but the fact that you can comfortably say there is no largest natural number is kind of a belief in infinity

Infinity is a concept that we made up for the same of explaining some math. Prove me wrong.

That seems more like an engine limitation than proof of infinity, to me anyway.

Quite the opposite imo, if there was a definite “largest number”, it would be an engine limitation. It is literally an actual issue with numbers representations in computers.
Now, some aspect of quantum physics really feel like IRL engine limitations though

Infinity + infinity = 2 * infinity 3 * infinity … Infinity * infinity = infinity^2 Infinity^3 … Infinity^infinity …
If infinity is the “first” i.e. Natural infinity than those are all well defined things (Ordinals)
