math is not an exact science the necessity of faith in Axioms outside the proof system
Does a number which is not representable by the means that our universe provide (amount of demixing in the big bang) even exist? Ridiculously large numbers can easily be represented by simple compression methods (e.g. the Ackermann-function) but between those numbers there are gaping holes of unrepresentability. While we don't know which of the ridiculously big numbers we can represent in a smaller compressed form we can be certain that there are many more which certainly can't be represent within the limits of our universe.
