Why do you accept the concept of infinity in the first place? Why do you even waste your time with Scientific American? Do you actually mean that empiricism can't provide you any quick, easy, fairybook, and finite answers? Or do you really not believe in objective truth at all, as you have suggested?

Empiricism is a valuable method, nothing more, nothing less. It's not my God, but it's a valuable outlook on life. Without it, my episteme would be vastly different.
