Facts mean things that are definitely the case. Facts are pieces of written or heard information that might be in the form of audio or video, also. Facts are used as evidence to turn a case in your favour or to furnish any sort of proof, as a part of report. Facts are certain universal and geographical truths such as “the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.” In the words of Aldus Huxley, “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”
All scientific theories and axioms that have been proved are also facts around which science revolves. Though science is completely logical and is based on reasoning, it still hugely depends upon facts that have been proved by several scientists. In this context, William James had once remarked, “Roundabout the accredited and orderly fact of every science there ever floats a sort of dust cloud of exceptional observations, of occurrences minute and irregular and seldom met with, which it always proves easier to ignore than to attend to.”
