I think the OP is probably referring to several pop-sci content (YouTube videos from Numberphile comes to mind) where it is "shown" that...

Considering that the set of integers (which are the simplest math entities) is infinite, I would say that yes, infinity is necessary in...

This doesn't really require infinity, just huge enough numbers to get it done. Space is not infinite. I assume you mean convergence to...

I mean, the fact that the world of mathematicians generally work with infinities on a daily basis should tell you something about its...

It's still a little smaller font size than I like, but it is legible (for me) without trouble. I'm happy with it, as is.

After people here told me about the Ctrl++, my complaints about the font size all disappeared. That works perfectly for me.

The font seems significantly smaller to these old eyes. Did it get smaller, or am I just imagining things?

You can approximate it with a sequence of integer divisions. Long division by hand does that -- never going over and keeping track of...
