About Truth

The same phenomenon can be explained by different theories, such as Newtonian mechanics and relativity, and even previous theories like the heliocentric theory, geocentric theory, and turtle-back theory can explain some phenomena. However, being able to explain does not mean it is the truth.

The so-called truth of human beings is based on experience and logic, and the scope of human experience is always limited - whether in terms of time or space. For example, in terms of time, the pigs on a farm are fed by their owners every day since they are born, but can you be sure that tomorrow they will still be fed and not slaughtered? In terms of space, Europeans always believed that all swans were white until they discovered the existence of black swans in Australia. In addition to the insufficient human experience as a solid foundation for establishing truth, the theoretical basis of logical reasoning used by humans to obtain truth is incomplete (Gödel's theorem), and there are still paradoxes that cannot be resolved.

In my opinion, the so-called truth of human beings is like a small boat in the turbulent sea, which can capsize at any time. People always live in subjectivity and imagination, rather than objectivity and reality. Even Newton's laws and Einstein's theory of relativity are human imagination and fiction, but this imagination and fiction are logical and self-consistent, and can fit reality to the greatest extent. However, the true world is like an irrational number, which humans can approach infinitely but can never reach.

People create concepts and ideas through perception and observation from nothingness and chaos, and some of them are called truth, and then they imprison themselves in them. When we struggle and trek in the prison and maze of concepts and ideas, we must not forget that they are just creations from our minds that once did not exist. We just need to forget them and return to the freedom of the mind, and then rebuild a new Tower of Babel (system of truth) from nothingness to existence through pure perception and observation.
