What is a fact? Is a theory a fact? Is a law a fact? Is a probable outcome a fact? Is common sense factual? Is something that is a fact only something that can be proved?

It's not like we can look at the code of the universe and confirm even elemental things like the gravitational constant. We can only measure it repeatedly but even then our precision is limited
