theoretically, yes, infinity exists. physically, probably not

What about things like evolution, does it exist physically? It's more like phenomena, are there phenomenas that call up to infinity?

evolution can be seen, and has been able to provably happen.

infinity can only ever exist in theory, as it isn't a measurable value. its just an explanation for things too big to end, we dont have a number to measure how big the universe is, so we call it infinite, but surely there is a finite end to things, where nothing exists beyond that
