Abstract: High energy physics features many ingenious tools for extracting finite results from formally divergent expressions. This brief note argues from a new perspective that all such formal infinities are meaningful markers of new physics. As such, they deserve to be explored in detail -- and even the simplest quantum field theories have more of them than is commonly thought.
