defining Truth is about understanding first of all what truths are

truths should be based on what doesn't change and what something cannot be

things are what they are

Does Canada produce, import or both ?

You are not defining truth, but reality...

Not reality even, but a frozen state in Time. Lifeless, soul-less, dead materials.

So; you can tell no truth about a horse race, or an earth quake??? Since life is change, even when we state the state of a state, change is a given... Time is one of those parameters in which reality can be seen as a constant, just as space is...Everything happens some place and some time even while the event horizon progresses through both... Something must be considered as a constant for anything to be considered clearly, and to be considered clearly is to be seen truthfully.. Does that mean that time and space and reality in general do not go on apace just because we have snapped a shot of it??? Every truth is a lie, but no lie is the truth, and that is a lie...

I can tell U about a big Earth-quake near LA soon, but so can Discovery Channel or National Geografic. No details however.

Science, as far as I could grasp, has no clue how things really relate. Only in abstract science we have formula's like T-3, indicating 3 bits of something before an Event takes/took place. No connection with spatial dimensions mentioned.

Time is re-defined numerous times. From moon-movements, Solar months, combinations still in USE. Pentagon house 17 (I believe) Cesium clocks; does that mean they take an average ? I sincerly hope your administration is more accurate. We still count on US intelligence !

Thruth is IMO more than science. I really believe to be a composite of layers of thinking. Primitive, animal-like, in-spired by peoples culture, soothed by religeon and narcotics. Rationality is hard to find. Thrut is a goal, a direction. I do feel like Mozes; Truth after dead,if you choose so.

Personaly I work hard on being more empathic; nasty confrontations with other believes I have. I learned however to combine, select and correct with the help of others. And vice versa !

You are not defining truth, but reality...

Reality is a subset, the knowable part of existence, and truth is a subset of reality, of positive statements we can make with certainty about the condition of reality...

Mostly, the truth is simply a social form, always a form, and as such, a form of relationship... Truth is something we share.

Defining (absolute) Thrut is impossible. Facts even change, due to tyo westeuropean Rhein is 100 km shorter.

Why would that be? The number 5 is an abstraction, and 2+3 is an abstraction, but I can use the latter to define the former.

Is it an absolute truth that facts sometimes change?

That facts change does not mean that what was a fact, was a fact.

It was sunny yesterday, and today it is raining. But that does not mean it was not sunny yesterday, does it? That remains true even if it is not sunny today.

It might not be the fact that is changing. I mean, you could say that the original fact was actually just an inference of a fact which is incomplete when brought over to a language.

For example, if I say that there is an apple on the table, and the next day I want to eat an apple so I infer the fact that there is an apple for me to take. I find out that the apple is no longer there. I do not say that my fact has changed from there being one apple on the table to there being no apples on the table. The fact hasn't changed, it's just that the fact was incomplete to begin with. There is one apple on the table on day 1. There are no apples on the table on day 2. I go to eat an apple on day 2, and therefore I will find no apples on the table.
