A fact is something known with certainty through experience, observation or measurement. Can be objectively demonstrated and verified.
Hard to determine if facts correspond to reality
Difference between fact and fiction does matter
Facts not absolutes but statements of probability
Social pressures can lead us to distort our perceptions
Our senses limited and affected by many factors
Facts must be expressed in careful statements
Standards used to determine facts are verifiability, reliability, and plausability
