Has the formalised mathematical definition of infinity, (ala Cantor, Godel,etc), ever resulted in productive outcomes for society ?

Has a meaningless explanation about "something that can't be explained", which somehow leads to a somewhat irritating "bounding concept" that gives other things "a new meaning", resulted in something productive which society can use ?

Cheers
