Dear Lloyd Gillespie.
I agree with you.
=======================
Exactly such situation and in Quantum physics.
Quantum theory says that at the interaction of the electron
with the vacuum, his energy and mass become infinite.
Physicists do not know what to do with “infinite”.
Physicists do not understand what to do with “infinite” sizes.
And therefore they have invented "a method of renormalization",
a method "to sweep the dust under the carpet" / Feynman./
This method is abstract.
The situation can be understood in another way.
Electrons, having the geometrical form of a sphere, lost their volume
and turned into an indefinitely flat circle, become “flat phantoms”.
These changes are described by the Lorentz transformations.
