gollark: What?
gollark: Someone not understanding it doesn't make it false.
gollark: They're "universal truth" because they apply regardless of location etc. in the universe.
gollark: You can have "universal truth" with things like logical statements, where you can come up with things that are always true given some set of axioms. For physical/sciencey things you can just do "it's very unlikely for this to not be the case".
gollark: They... can be... good for explaining things. They aren't proofs but demonstrations.
