In terms of the Scientific method.  We have very little factual proof of anything.  You hear things thrown around like their facts and that we "know things".

 

But when you use the scientific method you quickly realize its almost all hypothesis and theories.

Even basic things.  We dont actually even know what the center of the Earthis made of.  Sure weve got some good ideas but we dont actually know.

I just thought it was interesting how we don't really know anything......like seriously we dont know anything about the universe as much as some scientists will try to convince you they do.

That's just wrong.

We know a lot. Go to a hospital. Go into a university. 

Saying we don't know what is thousands of miles benath us in some of the most hostile considitions fathomable is just....not proving anything.

Bottom line, its "the best educated guess". Not a 100% confirmed fact. 

I guess what the OP was trying to say was that we know a lot of best fit theories but the confirmed facts that we know are relatively small. 

Yes & no.

We know the core of the earth is solid. Thanks to unchanging laws of physics, this is something we can say is a fact and not a theory.
