And if, as you claim, gravity is not a theory, why is there a theory of gravity? Are you claiming that the Theory of Gravity simply does not exist?
A theory of space pixies wouldn't be as accurate as another theory of gravity (depending on the theory), but yes, they would both still be just theories. So their validity would differ, but not their composition as theories.
What do you mean by if "gravity is not a theory why would there be a theory of gravity?" I don't understand.
In scientific terms, space pixies would be a hypothesis at best, seeing as there is no evidence at all that space pixies exist. Do you not know the difference between the scientific definition of a theory and the colloquial definition?
