I think part of mathematics is taking things that don't fit in our head and giving them human abstractions so they can.

Take infinity. Infinity can't fit in your head, hell, it can't fit anywhere, but you can abstract away the endlessness and look at infinities of different sizes, et al.

Now, is there a single formula for something actually represented in this world that would take most of a humans life just to read it, no idea.
