Without looking it up, tell me the difference between "fact" and "theory". I'm asking the same on the X place to see if there's a difference in responses.

fwiw, I'm a science teacher, so...
A "fact" is some objective, quantitative/qualitative observation/measurement of some object, pattern, or phenomenon. A provisional datum.
A "theory" is a model that organizes those facts (and predicts new ones) into a comprehensive explanatory framework.
