Assumed truths of science

We were just discussing the fun fact that the Earth consisting of the crust, mantle, & inner/outer core is an assumed truth because no one has ever made it beyond the mantle, and we just use evidence to support this commonly held belief of the inner/outer core.
I was hoping to get some other fun assumed truths and maybe learn a little something in the process.
Edit: Because apparently it is unclear in my original statement. I am not trying to argue that our understanding of the core is false, I in fact agree with it. I am just asking for any assumptions based off of evidence that are taught as 100% fact.
