Most assume it's there; but nobody can ever grasp it.
From a philosophical perspective; it's not possible to measure infinite quantities using finite methods and tools.
But doesn't that put forth the "why" question? Why is everything limited and everything has a limit?
It's literally a cosmic regional block: we are stuck on this dimension; with trillions of values to keep us busy, while infinity is beyond our reach, metaphorically and literally.
What a constraint; if you think about it !
The why is not the primary question scientific method focuses on, but "how" and does not need a "who" as a starting point gap answer.
And no, the idea of the infinite and finite overlapping is simple middle school math. You can LITERALLY draw a finite line on a piece of paper and have an infinite number of integers between.
"Who" as claimed by religious people really is NOTHING MORE than our species protecting it's own qualities in the form of non existent super heros.
Our species was not put here by a super hero. Our plant, our sun, our galaxy nor the universe are a product of a sky wizard by any name.
Not if you took the problem to "spacetime": or this dimension.
The line will never extend past time. Unless we assume that dimensions are loose -with ability to be removed or taken away when wanted-.
Time never stops; as far as science and humans know.
From here; the question asks the thinker: "if time never stops; what prevents infinity from existing"?
God is thought about the same, books like the Quran and religions like Islam strengthen that belief furthermore.
