A fact is a concept, statement, thing, scientific law, or event that has been unequivocally (indisputably) proven to be true. Facts are always based on concrete verified evidence which substantiate their truth. Facts are generally held to be mind-independent, i.e. they would continue to be the case whether or not anyone believed them, or indeed whether or not there were any minds to believe them in the first place.
