A pretty easy MADE UP concept. No one is claiming it exists somewhere (in reality, not the wacky "outisde our reality/universe "logic") nor that they've counted to infinity.
Although we can't say for sure that infinity can be actual, I wouldn't say that it's a made up concept. Logically, for reality to make sense, there has to be an infinity of some sort.
I mean, if space ultimately is finite, what is beyond space? No space? What does that even mean?
The universe might be finite (has an actual distance) or it might be infinite (conceptually goes on forever). Still figuring it out (might not even be possible to figure out)
But space doesn't NEED to be infinite for reality to make sense. At the end of space, that "no space" could be named something else (if it's ever reached). Take the "old sky" (earth's atmosphere) for example. Hundreds of years ago that could be thought as of going on forever. What is beyond the sky (earth's atmosphere)? Non sky? Humanity was able to find the end of the atmosphere. Now i know it's a stretch to say "no space" can exist but for now i guess I'll just accept that it is out of our capacity and toolset to find the edge so we are sort of forced into 50/50 infinite/finite universe.
I still think it's just a human made concept because of the mathematical nature. But yeah as you said philosophically it might actually, sort of exist.
