Elementary theory of numbers. For every integer you can add +1 and achieve a greater value. The axiom applies to any measurement - time, distance, hiccups - unless a limit applies. It is not infinity that requires proof - it is the existence of a limit.

If the universe wasn't infinite, we would then have to conclude that the universe exists within a place that isn't there which is easy enough to prove to be illogical. Living inside a finite universe would be synonymous to living inside a house with no outside. Eventhough my interpretation is abstract, the functioning requires infinity to allow for finite observations because there can be no logical boundary attributed to residual effects. Logically, the area affected must increase infinitely and the force of the effect must decrease infinitely - beyond what can be detected consciously.
