Well... I don't think we can say that for sure... all tests we can make are within the framework of the Universe itself.
Some claim there's no space-time "out" of the Universe and hence no quantum foam (If I understand the concept properly). But how can we test that?
Should we assume that there is, in fact, space-time "out" of the Universe? And, of course, with that comes all the quantum foam that an infinity of space can provide, stock full of Universes and all!
PS: I used "out" when I should have used "beyond the scope", but it makes the reading a bit more intuitive.
