Define "material fact".

A material fact is a phenomena that can be observed by the senses and there is evidence and emperical evidence for the fact. The method of science is obsevation of a material fact, evidence and emperical evidence of the fact and a explination of the fact that constitutes theory. The method does not observe anything other than a material fact. Without a material fact there can be no scientific theory. Facts are not absolute and a theory is of a higher order than a fact.
