A fact is something that is true. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability—that is whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable careful observation or measurement by experiments or other means.
Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge about the natural world through observation, experimentation, and reasoned analysis. It is not merely a collection of facts, but a structured method for generating reliable explanations and predictive models. At its core, science seeks to reduce uncertainty by testing ideas against evidence and refining them
A federation is a political system in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central (federal) authority and constituent political units—such as states, provinces, or cantons—each possessing autonomous powers. Unlike a unitary state, where authority ultimately flows from a single national government, a federation distributes governing power across multiple levels, each deriving legitimacy directly from
