Safe to say, there is an uncountable infinity of facts, whether or not we restrict ourselves to physical facts.

Well, there's a infinity of true statements. Some folks like to restict "fact" to what is not Cambridge

That wouldn't matter to the number of facts though. Anything, for example, which weighs 1 lb weighs more than .9 lb. And there are uncountably many weights between .9 and 1 lb that this thing is heavier than. All those are facts by anyone's measure.

Not by anyone's measure. There are those who would say there is one basica fact, wich has to be derived emprically, and a host of logically derivable true statements.
