Hi HG,
You may choose not to limit but it exists anyway. Think of it You go on imagining things in your head at some time you will be thinking still when you yourself get the feeling "How could this be possible!", "Oh, where am I?"
That's a limit, like zero and infinity in maths. When you do integral calculus we use limits 0 to infinity that is a limit or to find an area two lines in the dimensions over that limits nothing related to that exists if it does its abstract. That's why we need a line which cannot be crossed, though you can change the limits but it will just make it more abstract. The solutions become more complicated. Think of it, is it not better to have a true solution than to have a lot of abstract ideas and confuse ourselves.

But your last statement is really important yes we must be careful while selecting the limits.


That's the secret to life... replace one worry with another.
