certainties
Facts beyond doubt
Certainties is the plural of certainty—things known or believed to be true beyond doubt.
Life offers few certainties, though death and taxes are proverbial exceptions.
In philosophy and science, certainties are propositions held to be absolutely true, though such claims invite skepticism.
The old certainties no longer apply.
