You are wrong. It is *easily* provable. And one of us IS going to prove it to the other, someday. One of us will die. The other will either still be around, or the universe will dissolve as the "creator" of it dissolves and turns into dust. If you die first and the world winks out, me along with it, you have proved your theory. If I die first and you are still there, I have proved mine.
