I can not imagine that infinity or zero can every be part of reality. Both are mathematical limits that in a way circle back on themselves....like infinite numbers of infinitely small quantities. In my opinion, reality has to be grainy and quantized. Perhaps the illusive Higg Boson particles are the grains that form reality, or the strings you refer to. Perhaps infinity is any quantity so large that it it doesn`t make any difference if it were any bigger... and zero is any quantity so small that it can be totally ignored and not be there in the first place.
