Triangles have 3 sides. — invicta
The ocean is made of water. — invicta
The earth is round. — invicta
While the Earth appears to be round when viewed from the vantage point of space, it is actually closer to an ellipsoid. However, even an ellipsoid does not adequately describe the Earth’s unique and ever-changing shape.
Which of the above statements would you like to dispute and get anal with? — invicta
The sun emits light.
Cows don’t make eggs
Chickens have feathers until you pluck them.
The heart pumps blood around the body. — invicta
The oceans on Titan are methane. — Banno
As family trees don’t refer to actual trees — invicta
It'll be true, or it'll be false, whether you are able to verify it or not. Truth doesn't care what you believe. or why.True if verifiable — invicta
If truth is not an axiom that can be applied universally then are such truth statements as the first one in this OP useless? — invicta
So I'm nto sure what you are asking about. Can you paraphrase? "The sky is blue" will be true only if the sky is blue. And, as it turns out, the sky (here, now, as the sun rises) is indeed blue. — Banno
It doesn't. That is a word, and nothing more. If you have a solid (when frozen) definition of ocean, it provides an object or image to place into a senetence, which can then become a communication, which has a context.How does the word ocean give context ? — invicta
That is a word, and nothing more — Vera Mont
The truth changed too despite a lack of constancy in the colour of the sky. — invicta
holds at one time, and"The sky is blue" is true
holds at another; and what changes is the colour of the sky, not the nature of "...is true"."The sky is red" is true
remains so. For whatever statement you substitute for P. in this regard, "...is true" is not context dependent."P" is true iff P
No, what was true changed; the truth didn't. — Banno
Are you being serious here? — invicta
Now I think this is pretty much as much as can be said about the nature of truth."P" is true if and only if P
And another:The sky is blue
Notice that this last is first about the sentence "the sky is blue" and second about the colour of the sky?"The sky is blue" is true
What is the truth then regarding the color of the sky? One of the properties of the sky is its ability to change colour so both statements are true the sky is red when it is indeed red and the sky is blue when it’s blue. — invicta
