Infinite concept: Impossible to conceptuate?

Can you explain infinite or if I ask can you make a perception of it or can you conceptuate it? I have been reading a lot on web but still confused over this. The only logical answer I think would be "infinite is unknowable, unconceivable, unthinkable,and unexplainable." at least with the constraints of our brain as we can only perceive things by our five senses. Like what if we had a few more senses like sensing electromagnetism, forces of attraction, and all the ultras and infras and many other forces and phenomenas. Like we still dont know what physical laws are there in stars and distant galaxies which are billions of light years from us.

Well I think anything and everything in this world as far as humans are concerned has everything to do with using five senses

How can anyone explain infinite. The very nature of an explanation is to define or make more finite. One meaning of "DEFINE": specify, decide upon or fix definitely; "fix the variables"; "specify the parameters". All of those things are the opposite of "infinite".
Personally, I love the fact that I can't define infinity. That is the magic of it. I love knowing that there is something out there that is beyond my comprehension. How boring life would be if I had all the answers. Answers are great, but not for everything. To have ALL the answers would be the death of mystery and magic for me. I like looking up into the stars knowing that I DON'T have all the answers.
