ullangoo wrote today at 4:15 AMThe rather unsatisfactory definition of "truth" in logic is that a statement is true if it says "what is the case". The flat earth was never "the case", no matter what people believed, ergo the statement "the earth is flat" is, was and will always be false. Our chances of ever finding the absolute objective truth or truths may not be so good, but that's another discussion, I think.
