Why do we believe that light can travel infitite distance in space if all our living experience denies that?

We don't.

>>8128963
It doesn't.

>>8128963
It can't.

If there is no shit in the middle of its path, why not?

Why do we expect quality threads on /sci/ if all our living experience denies that?

Why sound waves are fading over time?
>>
>>8129040
because they are mechanical waves, and they lose energy with every atomic propagation.

Yes exactly like light waves. Light must lose energey over distance. Radius increase.

So if I shine a laser powerful enough to have photons that aren't absorbed by the atmosphere into space, in a hypothetical location that there are no celestial bodies in the way, will the photons that make it into space eventually cross the universe?
>>
>>8129390
>cross the universe
nope. If you mean "from one end to the other" then it's because we aren't at the edge.
If you mean "from somewhere inside to the edge" it's because of the expansion of space being faster than the light itself
