A truth is established,is verified,is relevant and is valued as exactly that-a truth.
A 'fact' is a scientific term given to any scenario that cannot be contested at the time.
However-as science progresses and knowledge/understanding expands,facts can very easily be either disproved or shown to be 'factual' in theory only.
Whereas a truth is an established entity,rooted deeply into a solidity that neither time nor investigation,be that investigation scientific in mode or moralistic in base,can change.
For instance:-it's a truth that there are more stars in this galaxy alone,than there are molecules in a pint of water. Not a fact-a truth.
BUT:-it's a fact that Mount Everest is the highest mountain on this planet.
However,this 'fact',so well-known to all,is actually incorrect...ie;an inaccuracy. Mount Chimborazo,in Ecuador-a mountain few have ever even heard of,actually holds that title. Y'see,Mount Everest is the highest peak above sea level. Ahhh...but yes,it's a truth. NOT a fact-a truth.
Not a fact why? you ask....well,the answer is,Chimborano is the highest peak above the centre of the Earth. NOT above sea level...but above the centre of the planet it's on. A simple fact,is that Everest is the highest peak above sea-level.....so far. But-give this planet a few millennium of tectonic shifting/climate changing-and that ''is'',can and mostly likely will, become ''used to be''. See?
It's a well known fact that over 75% of all statistics are made up.Where does truth come into it?

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

I started to video, but, because we were in the disabled section with the FIL, which was quite far from the flight line, and, the direction the sun was shining from, it was to difficult to see the screen.It's a pity, there was a well impressive Airbus 330, and a very large Fokker, decked out in Dastardly and Muttley livery.
