>How many whole numbers are there?

Infinity.

>how many decimals are there between 0 and 1?

Infinity.

Therefore, there are an infinite number of infinities.

Furthermore, there are infinitely infinite infinities.

>How many decimals are there between any two decimals?

Infinity.

Math is just an abstract way of explaining numerical problems.
It doesn't represent reality until you apply to something real. Infinities can exist in math, but not reality.
It's half the problem with physics. You have do many abstractions based up further abstractions. They're so hyped on measurement of something new they're not quite sure what they're actually measuring.

Math is about realizing generalizations and solving problems with that understanding. Numbers are an objective way of explaining a collections of things so long as they fall in the same category you care about. An apple, pear, cherry, and two oranges comprise 5 fruits. You can take an integral of a set of objects when they are described by a formula. more restrictions (needs a formula to express its nature) but more powerful (and easier to obtain) conclusions. Math is more real then things we can touch. It stands outside of our reality; encompassing it. It is a meta truth.

math's a game, and by god you got filtered hard by infinity/complex numbers, id suggest you start from the beginning, go learn to count again, if you don't you are just honestly done for
