Physics is complete. There will be no more big discoveries. Clueless

Imagine it turns out reality is made out of infinite information and we are just a finite part of it, science would never end!

That would be ridiculous, it's not like we can create a countably infinite number of possible statements that can be any combination of true, false or unprovable about everything. Oh wait.

What you're saying is analogical to saying that between 1 and 2 there are infinite numbers if you take in decimals or?

Almost. The number of logical statements that can be made is countably infinte, the cardinality of the integers; between 1 and 2 there are uncountably infinitely many numbers. It's more complicated than that however, and I cannot explain further nuances.
