What physical evidence that for every N there is N+1 > N?
Natural numbers are not defined in any physical way, they are defined by axioms.
But where is cell numbered "Infinity"?
I don't think I ever argued for literal infinity as a value belonging to the set of natural numbers(unless it's just a symbol denoting a set's cardinality, in which case it's defined, although in a rather shaky way). I merely argue that you cannot find the end of the set and thus you may as well call it infinite.

My argument was also along the lines that using maximum informational content possible within the universe as the maximum number you can have is not a valid argument as other universes can exist (and are likely to exist: that was the point of the prisoner thought experiment) and in those universes the visible universe could contain a larger number and so on, so physical implementation of a number cannot be required.
