Why brain cannot think about universe infinity?

Others have suggested it is a waste of time to ponder these things. I disagree. Infinity is one of my favorite topics because evidence of infinity’s actual existence is everywhere around us.
Your brain can’t grasp these concepts because the concepts are inherently transitive. They are inherently “beyond defining” except in terms of properties they lack. When you realize that a lot of defined properties are simply ways man has described pattern or phenomena as a matter of convenience for himself and that the definition is not an actual thing, you see just how important looking at the larger (or smaller) picture becomes.
Some people find transitive concepts like these frightening. They shatter their world-view. For example, the realization of the scope of the physical universe:
“Meanwhile the Cosmos is rich beyond measure: the total number of stars in the universe is greater than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet Earth.” - Carl Sagan
Take that, now imagine as many planets with beaches, and the staggering number of all the grains of sand on all the worlds in the universe. Then take that and consider how many grains of sand ever were or ever will be in the life of a (possibly infinite) universe. Most people - their brain just shuts off. Mine lights up.
Nothingness is something else. You can’t comprehend nothingness because it is like a closed loop paradox. For you to experience nothingness, you need to exist in order to experience it. If you exist, then there is something rather than nothing. You cannot experience nothing because nothing is not an experience.

hey u know what, we human beings are capable for thinking beyond what is said to be impossible now. our brain is not being trained or pushed further to think or to invent anything as answers are already provided. but we are capable,its just that we need to start thinking ,if we were not able to think then nobody would have invented anything and you wont be reading what i wrote.
