Because outside of math, in science there is never any “proven!” moment. But you can range anywhere from fuzzy ideas, to untested hypotheses, to tested hypotheses, to lightly confirmed theories, to theories which are hard to tell apart from absolute fact.
The point is though, that there must always be room for correction and for new evidence to be accounted for.
Yeap, just like gravity.
