How can infinity go on forever if there is no one there to verify it?

what we have here is a "theorem" ( a general proposition not self-evident but proved by a chain of reasoning; a truth established by means of accepted truth.) that cannot be empirically tested. Does it then invalidate the presupposition of fact, unknown?

Update:

"Yahoo!Answers" of course chooses cowardice, rather than engage in constructive debate; (i.e. web site or email address) much akin to a childish display of immaturity.

Shoot your mouth off before your brain is loaded and never come to understand the abstract concept the question was intended to illicit.

These shortcomings of knowledge are quite evident when one observes your activity stats. You have shown yourself to be quite challenged in the gray matter region.

"Presupposition of fact" only creates a "possibility"; all facts were birthed at the possibility level of creation, ask or seek out some of Einsteins' thoughts.

Better yet just excuse yourself from the higher intellect of this question, and jaw with those on your level, if it exists, and if anyone cares.

Thank you to all the intellectual respondents to this question, the pick is soon at hand....

    Is there anyone to disprove it?

    The price seems more suspicious than the photos; the underhood shot does indeed look characteristic of a G35 with about 90k miles. Still, it's no trick to say to a G owner, "Hey, I'll give you $25 if you'll let me take some shots of your car."

    Well that's all those unsolved murders cleared up...no police or lawyers or other expert witnesses there to tell the court what happened so it didn't happen.

    "Sarge, that guy can't have been murdered. Nobody witnessed it."

    Close the files boys....job's a good 'un.

    What's the point of reason and logic? Making up poems and nice romantic fairy stories?

    What's the point of learning and applying it to things known differently before?

    Meaning often they weren't known...just thought to be known.

    Like our own lot......science changes because that's how science progresses.

    Infinities are not all the same.

    Sounds like someone has been playing with the dictionary. Using big words does not make you look smart.

    That's the definition of infinity. Infinity goes on forever. It doesn't have to be possible; it's just what it is. It's like Velveeta. Just because it doesn't make sense doesn't mean it does not exist.

    If in fact an infinite universe does exist, in so much as we are capable of imagining, it is impossible to validate because we can't find an end to something that has no end.

    If the universe is claimed to have an end, what lies beyond the "end"? I think this is as much validation as we can get.

    id assume the red shift effect (light coming appears to be more red because the observed object is moving away from observer). Shows we are getting further away but doesnt necessarily prove the universe is getting bigger- we could just be moving around relatively to each other in a fixed space but the universe getting bigger is consistent with this

    Infinity is a mathematical concept and only nothing that terminates an incident can be eternal.

    Your question is still based in time therefore it has no relevance. since we only know what is limitied we are able to reason with what is shortlived and not with such ideas as infinity. So anything that is infinity will vouch for infinity but we shall agree with the defined.

    things just go one for ever and you are doing the very same thing i did once i asked my teacher she said the reason why there is no way we can understand this is infinity is a theory that is beyond all of our imaginations

    Infinity is a number invented by mathematicians to describe "going on for ever"

    It's just a number.

    Who proved that one is one

    One is what one is

    Gettit?

    Well, how can we prove it is a problem. However, we also cannot disprove it. So we assume it to be true until dis-proven, much like gravity pulls down instead of pushing down
