Wikipedia, the truth and the ...eye of Kennedy

"because everybody knows there is only one truth, but that doesn't automatically mean that our current system is designed to convey that one genuine truth."

There is often more than one truth for our limited human minds.

For example:

  • photons of light act like waves
  • photons of light act like particles

Yeah, I understand the point. In terms of expression, that would be a problem only in a binary system that requires a 0 or 1 response.

Fortunately a text page that addresses the same issue (whether photons act as waves or particles) would have no problem conveying a message that "both can happen" (in which case that would be the "one truth").
