actually, no. nothing can be proven 100% true. nothing happens 100% of the time. so we may have some things we know happen /most/ of the time, or very close to all of the time, but one out of the infinite rolls of the dice is going to eventually come up snake-eyes

can you prove your memory of having coffee with breakfast is true? can you prove 100% that you didnt come into existance during this very moment, and everything you know to be true is an implanted memory designed to give you some sense of reality?

As you can see, even popular oppion will start being quoted as fact.
For example two scientist who are rather trust worthy productive member of the scientific community claim to have made Cold Fusion. However, since this doesn't have explination in physical laws nor can it be repeated it is not considered to be a fact.
If you drop something, it will fall. If get hit, it hurts. If you look at a bright light too long, your eyes will hurt. If you close your eyes, you no longer see your surroundings. etc. etc. etc. Questioning the basic physics and events of existence proves nothing.
