Not really. The things I listed have not been observed, so they really are just theories in that they may indeed be wrong. They may be right. They are educated guesses. However gravity is a well proven law.
Please don't buy the BS of the creationists in redefining proven and reliable science vs. just a theory, evolution and radioactive dating are not speculative they are proven and rock solid. The history of stars, the earth and the solar system are rock solid, but may be slightly vague in detail at times. Other things not so much.
Consider a car crash vs. viewing a distant explosion. When you see the crash, you might not know all the details but you can reconstruct a lot including enough to know basically what happened. That is the history of the solar system, stars, and perhaps the last few hundred million years of evolution. The big bang is just a very distant flash and light. Without further inquiry, we really don't know. Yes we can make very educated guesses, but they are just educated guesses not facts. There are in fact very important experiments in progress to measure some of these things, and I look forward to when our knowledge becomes more firm. Indeed I have faith we will keep looking. However overselling what you actually know is a problem.
