    That’s the great thing about science.

    Things that are considered facts in today’s world can be disproven by new experiments and observations (recreated through experimentation and after adequate peer review).

    So for me, it depends on what is being evaluated. 2+2 is a fact. Exact age of the moon might be up for more debate.

      How is 2 + 2 a fact?

      How do you know, through new experiments and observations, that we will never determine the exact age of the moon?
