I am sorry if you have trouble with the eye sight. This why it is more important to ask, why we have such a cosmic speed limit. Special relativity does it all the wrong way, because it assumes a priori that we have cosmic speed limit, but it explicitly forbids anyone for seeking answer why we seem to have such an apparent speed limit. But I think that understanding such deep philosophical aspects of the theory is too hard for many. Lorentz's theory of relativity however explains that we have speed limit, because matter interacts with gravity field. And causes it to slow down, or in the case of muon, it's clock is slowing down, what is essentially the same thing. This is also the reason, why we must always think causal reasons behind laws. And we should never accept anything in a priori axiomatic level. –Jouni PS. Mathematics and reality has nothing to do with each other, therefore there are no such thing as infinities in real world.
