	~~== Definition ==~~		[[File:FACTS_ubt_2.JPG\|thumb\|right\|A visual representation of facts in a structured format.]]
	A '''fact''' is a ~~piece of information~~ that ~~is based on evidence or reality and is expected~~ to be true ~~and accurate~~. Facts are ~~often used in~~ the ~~field~~ of [[science]] ~~where they~~ are ~~crucial in establishing logical~~ and ~~rational arguments~~ and ~~conclusions~~. ~~In the field of~~ [[~~law~~]], ~~facts~~ are ~~used~~ to ~~establish~~ the ~~truth and validity of legal cases~~.
			A '''fact''' is a statement that can be proven to be true or false. Facts are objective realities that are verifiable through evidence and observation. In the context of [[science]], facts are often established through [[experimentation]] and [[observation]].

			== Characteristics of Facts ==

			Facts are characterized by their verifiability and objectivity. They are distinct from [[opinions]], which are subjective beliefs or interpretations. For a statement to be considered a fact, it must be:

			* '''Observable''': It can be perceived through the senses or measured with instruments.
			* '''Verifiable''': It can be confirmed by others through evidence or experimentation.
			* '''Objective''': It is not influenced by personal feelings or interpretations.

	== Types of Facts ==		== Types of Facts ==
	~~There are several types of facts, including:~~

	* '''Objective Facts~~'''~~: These are facts that are true no matter what anyone believes. They are independent of personal feelings or beliefs. An example of an objective fact is "Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at sea level."		Facts can be categorized into several types based on their nature and context:

	* '''~~Subjective~~ Facts''': These are facts that are ~~true for some people but not for others, depending on their personal experiences, feelings,~~ or ~~beliefs~~. An example ~~of a subjective~~ fact ~~is "I feel cold~~."		* '''Empirical Facts''': These are facts that are derived from direct observation or experimentation. For example, "Water boils at 100°C at sea level" is an empirical fact.

	* '''~~Universal~~ Facts''': These are facts that ~~are true at all times~~ and ~~in all places~~. An example of a ~~universal~~ fact ~~is "All humans need oxygen to survive~~."		* '''Historical Facts''': These are facts about past events that have been documented and verified. For example, "The [[Declaration of Independence]] was signed in 1776" is a historical fact.

	* '''~~Contextual~~ Facts''': These are facts that are ~~true in certain contexts or situations~~. An example ~~of a contextual fact is~~ "~~It is raining,~~" ~~which~~ is ~~only true in certain places at certain times~~.		* '''Scientific Facts''': These are facts that have been established through the scientific method. They are often subject to change as new evidence emerges. For example, "The Earth orbits the Sun" is a scientific fact.

	== Importance of Facts ==		== Importance of Facts ==
	~~Facts are important in various fields and aspects of life, including:~~

	* '''Education''': Facts ~~form the basis of learning~~ and ~~knowledge~~. They provide ~~the~~ foundation for understanding ~~various subjects~~ and ~~topics~~.		Facts play a crucial role in various fields, including [[science]], [[law]], and [[journalism]]. They provide a foundation for [[knowledge]] and [[understanding]], allowing individuals to make informed decisions and form accurate conclusions.

	* '''Decision Making''': Facts provide the necessary information to ~~make informed decisions~~. ~~They help~~ in ~~understanding the situation~~ and ~~the possible outcomes of different choices~~.		In science, facts are used to build [[theories]] and [[models]] that explain natural phenomena. In law, facts are used as evidence to support or refute claims in legal proceedings. In journalism, facts are used to report news accurately and objectively.

	* '''Communication''': Facts ~~are essential in conveying accurate and reliable information. They help in establishing credibility and trust.~~		== Challenges in Establishing Facts ==

	* '''~~Problem Solving~~''': ~~Facts provide~~ the ~~necessary information~~ to ~~understand a problem and find a solution~~.		Establishing facts can be challenging due to various factors, such as:

			* '''Bias''': Personal biases can influence the interpretation of data and evidence.
			* '''Complexity''': Some phenomena are complex and difficult to measure or observe directly.
			* '''Uncertainty''': In some cases, there may be uncertainty or ambiguity in the available evidence.
