No, it is both. Why is this so hard to understand? The theory of gravity explains the fact of gravity.

The theory of evolution explains the fact of evolution.

You, like or not, are a monkey.

You still haven’t shown gravity to be a fact

Take a fifty pound rock. Lift it above your head. Then let go. You can tell me the results.


It seriously appears that you do not even know what a fact is.

Show me with your science source where gravity is considered a fact.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Show me with your science source where gravity is considered a fact.

I jsut gave you one. Do you need it written out? In fact read this:

Definitions of Fact, Theory, and Law in Scientific Work | National Center for Science Education

I don’t need the definition of words, I asked for a science paper stating that gravity is a fact, you would think it is an obvious fact, but is it still considered a theory? Do you have a science source saying that Gravity is a fact and not a theory?

That is not how one uses scientific papers. In scientific papers one states one's hypothesis, how they did various tests or observations, what they observed and they they think that it means.

You keep telling us that you have at best a middle school science education when you make frivolous demands.

Just to let you know, theories are made from facts but theories never become facts.

If you mean scientific theories, then you're laughably wrong. Species evolution is a scientific theory, it is also an accepted scientific fact.

 

[Sheldon]

Now I can make a theory

That's not a scientific theory.

 

[Sheldon]

Are you saying gravity is a theory

The Newtonian theory of gravity

 

[Sheldon]

Then it’s not a fact

Oh dear, just when I think I can start breathing through my nose again, you post something else about science, and my jaw just drops open.

 

[Sheldon]

That doesn’t say gravity is a fact

I don't think the word fact means what you think it means.

 

[Sheldon]

Gravity is considered a theory not a fact

Fact
noun

1. a thing that is known or proved to be true.

Are you saying science doesn't know gravity to be true?

 

[Subduction Zone]

The Newtonian theory of gravity

I would have mentioned that but he would have said "It's a Law". That is why I went with General Relativity. It is a theory, and it superseded Newtons' work. It is not so much that Newton is "wrong" He is only wrong under relativistic conditions and those are rather rare when it comes to crude observations. But General Relativiy is the theory for gravity these days.

Fact

I gave him a simple experiment. I am waiting to hear what his results were.

Accepted scientific theories are by definition scientific facts.

Show me with your science source where gravity is considered a fact.

Would it help if we said an invisible sky fairy created it, using magic?

No I’m not saying that @Subduction Zone brought it up and was thinking of course gravity is a fact but then looked it up and looked like Universal Gravity could be a theory and not a fact. So maybe it is both but that’s it on that.

Is that your scientifical undermastandingting!? Is it uh fact, Jack!?

 

[ElishaElijah]

Accepted scientific theories are by definition scientific facts.

What about when theories are proved to be false?
Theory vs Fact
While theories are well-supported and may be true, they are not the same as facts. Facts are irrefutable, while a contrary result may disprove a theory.

Well He did help with this song:
