Differences between fact and theory

What is Fact ?


    Facts is actually the truthiness about something which it is haven happened before and this circumstances will provided a strong convince to be that thing or statement as truth. At other world, it can be simply understand by the something that is actually exist, real one.

What is Theory ?

    The theory can be best understanding as  the coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanations for a class of phenomena or a proposed explanations whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact. 

Theories vs Facts


"If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts" - Albert Einstein





The differences for both of factual and theories are if the path from a statement to verifiable predictions is short and uncontroversial it known as factual. Theory is a statement which can generates a wide scope of predictions, but only through some intermediate steps, such as reasoning, computations, the use of other statements.Thus the path from a theory side are to do a predictions that may not be unique and often becomes debatable or issuer. Between the extreme cases of statements that are clearly facts and those which are clearly theories there is a whole spectrum of intermediate cases. 

    "Physics is a developing logical system of thinking whose foundations cannot be obtained by extraction from past experience according to some inductive methods, but come only by free fantasy"- Einstein . Top-level theories of science are not deduced from observable facts, they are constructed by a creative act and their usefulness can be demonstrated only afterwards. 

     According to the certain experienced which have been justified or will be justify in the decision -making on the basic of the truth. also will explained more about the statement of the truth in the theory itself. As for examples, the past experienced can be known as the truth which it is have been established.  But, when it expected in future it is known as hypothetical where there is no difference between factual and theory. It is because, both are varieties of model the we use in making decisions. So, from the explanation that cuts from the other statement which have search before have give us some understanding between about facts and theory. This conditions may be useful in my research because the point is, theory are really important to be applied to any research by researcher which it is as a facts and the truth is also needed to convinced this facts that the statement is can be used in research.
