Oh yes there is. It is one of the most strongly supported theories
in science experimentally, but one of the least understood
theoretically.
Facts are observations; hypotheses are attempts at explaining those
observations; theories are hypotheses that have withstood
experimental scrutiny and have successfully predicted other
observations.
Of all the forces in nature, only gravity doesn't fit with the
others. It is far from understood, and elaborate proposals such as
string theory and various interesting, multi-dimensional geometries
have been proposed in order to unify gravitational force will all
others, but so far nothing has satisfactorily explained what is going
on.
