No theory is ever proven

How about Einstein's theory that gravity/mass bends light?

Light being bent in a gravity field is not a theory but an observable, measurable fact.

Einstein's theory on why it happens is the currently accepted explanation, and probably mostly true. That does not rule out a better explanation being found in the future.

Today, it is an observable, measurable fact.

At one time is was merely a theory of Einstein's.
