If the stack never bottoms out, I would expect by Occam's that we would eventually find some evidence that we are not the top, and that there is probably no top, ever.

This would, as far as I can tell, imply various uncomfortable things, and would require getting over the deep-seated objections some people have against any conception of the universe that contains the concept "infinity" anywhere in it.
