The request to “prove that reincarnation is a fact” involves some very “big picture” questions. For instance, do you really know what “you” are, in the fullest sense (and how there’s a whole universe inside of you)? Do you know and understand in great depth what time (the eternal now) really is? Do you fully understand how and why we have the illusion of “time flowing”? (If the answer is yes to all the above, have you collected your Nobel prizes yet?)

Indeed, why does reincarnation need to be a fact, rather than the simplest available explanation, the best hypothesis?

Maybe you don’t like the idea of reincarnation because you’ve had a Christian upbringing. In that case, are you aware that reincarnation was a mainstream dogma of Christianity until the Roman emperor at the time called the Council of Constantinople in 550 AD? Following that council, 49 verses that mentioned reincarnation were removed from the gospels. (Do you, perhaps, have any notion of the possible reasons why?) But there are still some verses left in the gospel of Luke, where the disciples ask Jesus if he “was” Elijah, and Jesus says no, he “was” somebody else.
