Infinity...oh man...humans made up these concepts only because they reached a dead end while trying to hunt the truth and explain everything...even if universe explained through our mathematics makes sense to us, mathematics are only objectively correct within the rules they have been created, a reality of its own...humans created mathematics and if there are flaws in our assumptions or logic considering the universe and reality, the whole thing falls apart and cannot be used to describe anything outside the original mathematical reality...and humans can never confirm whether there are flaws while being tied to this universe and reality. Personally I think mathematics works brilliantly as an approximation.

Woah there. Physics when applied to real-world problems work brilliantly as approximations (because they are reliant on measurements, you'll never be 100% precise). Math though, is precise.

 

You are touching on a giant philosophical subject though: Are there inherent mathematical properties to the universe, or is mathematics just a human invention to explain the universe? Personally, I lean more to the 1st one, but this, unlike math has no right or wrong answer.

Mathematics isn't a property. Does it make sense to say that a cup has property math? No, this is utter nonsense it's totally incoherent to say so. 

That's problem 1. Problem 2 is Platonism in general. To say that the conception of something lives externally is to commit the absurd self-refuting idea that that which is conceptual is the same as that which is actual.
