Do things really need to be limited?

Do things really need to be limited?
So I was recently watching a documentary about black holes, and Michio Kaku basically said that the reason we can't understand black holes is because when you use relativity or quantum physics to calculate their mass and or gravity you end up with infinity, you also end up with infinity when you calculate the size and density of the singularity because its infinitely small.  And apparently infinity is a no no when it comes to math involving bodies in space.  So since I'm nowhere near being a math expert I would just like to know (in terms I can understand  Tongue ) why is it that things like a black holes gravity, density, and mass cannot be infinite?
