there could be no bottom ... there would also never be any way to prove that the proposed bottom is truly the bottom and not just an event horizon

- crazygringo 7y agoIf a theory's predictions are 100% consistent with experiment, then it becomes the bottom for all practical purposes, since all we have is practical knowledge. Saying we can't prove it's the bottom would mean as much as saying we can't prove the universe is on the back of a stack of giant tortoises. Technically true, but of no practical importance. Of course, if a theory doesn't agree 100% with reality, then there's more to find in a practical sense, in which case "not having reached the bottom" is true by definition.
