I doubt that you, alone, have made some sort of discovery that everyone else has missed out on, you can't even put it out mathematically to check if everything is correct. I call bs. And it doesn't matter, you still need to do experiments, have equations or something along those lines as mentioned above because you don't know if everything is correct.One step at a time.

A Crisis in Physics
There are in fact two separate assumptions: “infinitely big” and “infinitely small.” By infinitely big, I mean that space can have infinite volume, that time can continue forever, and that there can be infinitely many physical objects. By infinitely small, I mean the continuum—the idea that even a liter of space contains an infinite number of points, that space can be stretched out indefinitely without anything bad happening, and that there are quantities in nature that can vary continuously.
The two assumptions are closely related, because inflation, the most popular explanation of our Big Bang, can create an infinite volume by stretching continuous space indefinitely. The theory of inflation has been spectacularly successful and is a leading contender for a Nobel Prize. It explains how a subatomic speck of matter transformed into a massive Big Bang, creating a huge, flat, uniform universe, with tiny density fluctuations that eventually grew into today’s galaxies and cosmic large-scale structure—all in beautiful agreement with precision measurements from experiments such as the Planck and the BICEP2 experiments. But by predicting that space isn’t just big but truly infinite, inflation has also brought about the so-called measure problem, which I view as the greatest crisis facing modern physics.
Physics is all about predicting the future from the past, but inflation seems to sabotage this. When we try to predict the probability that something particular will happen, inflation always gives the same useless answer: infinity divided by infinity.
It's not useless: The Infinite object divided by it's subjective infinite relationships yields specific qualities which can be quantified.
And the author is also making the mistaking of overlapping perspectives: The singularity, even in the BBT, is not a "subatomic speck" because that is comparing our scale of space to it's scale. Say we shrunk the universe by half and by overlaying perspectives a ruler is now only 6 inches long....no it's not, it's still 12 inches relative to everything in the universe the former perspective is no longer applicable.
And just for fun, lets quantize you! (the human body): How can you be said to exist? What are the spatial relationships your body has with itself? You have external and structural bilateral (horizontal) symmetry, internally (organs) you are mostly asymmetric, and both outside and inside are arranged in vertical hierarchy. Can we simplify you even further? Take all the complex stuff, your fingers, arms, head, etc, everything poking out and smooth them all back down to a curved surface of skin. What shape are you? A sphere? Not quite....you're a torus...there's a tube running straight down through the middle of you.
What's the mathematic equation for the human body as it is? Extremely long.
