objective truth
What actually happened
Objective truth is a fact or reality that exists independently of anyone's beliefs, feelings, or perspectives.
The statement Water freezes at 32°F is objective truth—it remains true whether or not anyone believes it.
The concept contrasts with subjective truth, which depends on individual experience or interpretation.
Philosophers debate whether objective truth is fully accessible to humans or whether all knowledge is filtered through perspective.
