A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. The theory of biological evolution is more than "just a theory". It is as factual an explanation of the universe as the atomic theory of matter or the germ theory of disease. Our understanding of gravity is still a work in progress. But the phenomenon of gravity, like evolution, is an accepted fact.

Ye'. This is known. I think there is a chance you may be getting ahead of yourself.the actual nature of matter is ultimately indeterminate. — ernest meyer
However, one could equally say space is a fixed Euclidean framework, and gravity warps matter at Einsteinian scales. — ernest meyer
In his 1961 book The Atom and its Nucleus, Gamow proposed representing the periodic system of the chemical elements as a continuous tape, with the elements in order of atomic number wound round in a three-dimensional helix whose diameter increased stepwise (corresponding to the longer rows of the conventional periodic table).
If the equations are equivalent, they produce the same results. — ernest meyer
