The main reward of this kind of physics is that, as we shall see in the next chapter, infinity disappears. The infinitely small no longer exists. The infinities that plague conventional quantum field theory, predicated on the notion of a continuous space, now vanish, because they were generated precisely by the assumption, physically incorrect, of the continuity of space. The singularities that render Einstein’s equations absurd when the gravitational field becomes too strong also disappear: they are only the result of neglecting the quantization of the field. Little by little, the pieces of
