This seems like a common thread in the comments on this article, and I don't quite understand it.
Humans can reason about infinity just fine. We have a hard time picturing it, but it's overall a pretty simple concept: It never ends.
So there's no such thing as being able to reason "beyond infinity", because beyond infinity doesn't exist. Its very existence is precluded by the definition of infinity.
