Facts

Facts are not things that are true, fact are things that are indisputably true, things that are real. Theories are facts that have yet to be proven false. A theory is an invitation to those who would question the fact, go ahead and develop a theory which has a greater correspondence to reality and your theory will become truth, until it is also disproven. A theory is the truth until it is supplanted by a theory that has greater correspondence to reality, greater correspondence to facts.
These are simple concepts.


Whether you yield or not is irrelevant. As Tarski pointed out, truth is correspondence to facts and not something found between the listener and the speaker. If the Theory of Special Relativity was not accepted as a fact, today's GPS satellites would not yield correct locations. The corrections necessary to yield proper results are calculated using the Theory of Special Relativity. It corresponds to facts. You could ignore the theory and then your GPS device would say you were on the highway but your truck would still be a few hundred feet away bouncing over furrows in the turnip field.
