What is truth?

[Goatboy]

Truth is any non-zero value. /thread

There is no truth thanks to Heisenberg. You know where it is, but not it's velocity or you know it's velocity but not position.

Where are my keys? Idk, maybe you know too much about their momentum. lol.

You just read that on xkcd, right?
But what does the behavior of electrons has to do with this?

This may have been blown out of the water, actually. Berkley scientists have developed a method for tracking (in real-time) the movements of electrons with attosecond pulses.

Truth is any n

on-zero value. /thread

TRUTH IS 42.

Anyway, it's a bit hard to define truth without getting philosophical. Owait...

Seriously, though, I tend to evaluate truth with boolean logic. Truth is where the truth value = 1 (as opposed to 0).

Examples of truth:

• I did your mom.
  
• The maturity of this post is deteriorating.

Truth is whatever you perceive it to be.

Truth is whatever you perceive it to be.

I perceive you to be a moron.

Therefore, you are a moron.

[Jake-X]

That's your truth, but not mine.

My truth is that I'm a poor ignoramus. (Subtle difference, but difference nonetheless.)

Truth is whatever you perceive it to be.

I believe you just did an epic necro.
