Ok, take a simple example. You are stood on a field of grass, football in front of you, you have not yet kicked the ball but you know you want to and plan on doing so. The fact is that you are going to kick the ball, but as it has not yet happened, there is no way it can be a fact of present and therefore must be a fact of future.
It gets complicated as you could say that there is no way you can prove nothing is going to happen to the ball before you kick it, but likewise you also cannot prove that something will happen to the ball before you kick it. It can get even worse than that believe it or not but for the sake of your sanity and mine I'll leave it there for now.
That's conjecture. See Russells Teapot hypothesis.
