Since we don't have a way to apply "infinity" or infinitely big n to math equations/problems, isn't it more correct to say that we don't know if any of the equations we have will either fail or prevail?

We know that some functions don't converge but that's only because we can't try n infinite numbers. How are we certain that these non-convergent functions do not converge to some value and that math breaks at big scales (or smaller scales). =much like our universe=
