Infinity? Just Subtract It From Both Sides

Renormalization is basically physicists saying "Look, we got infinity in our equations, but we need finite answers, so we're just going to subtract infinity from both sides." Pure mathematical heresy, but it works. Mathematicians stare in horror while physicists casually wave away divergent integrals like they're swatting flies. The best part? Nobel Prizes were awarded for this mathematical sleight of hand. When your quantum field theory gives you infinities, just renormalize them away and pretend it was rigorous all along.
