Brother you're wrong and there's ample scholarship you can consult to correct your misunderstanding. The Wikipedia with sufficient citations is right there. Feel free to educate yourself.
Not defending GP, but your claim that actual truth "obviously exists" is equally condescending and empty of backing evidence.
Would you say the continuum hypothesis (or its negation) is "actual truth"? Or does the "actual truth" become something closer to "actually, there are models of ZFC where CH holds as well as models where it doesn't hold, or maybe ZFC is already inconsistent; we don't really know, nor can we."?
Similarly, on the subject of astronomical reference frames, I'd argue the "actual truth" is closer to this:
> Any reference frame that locally obeys Newton's law of inertia is equally valid. Some are more useful than others depending on the problem you are studying. The notion of an "absolute center" is purely semantic, and a meaningless human construct, until one places bounds on the system under study, wherein the center of mass becomes the most reasonable choice at sub-cosmological scales.
Saying "there are models of ZFC where CH holds as well as models where it doesn't hold" sounds to me like talking about truth.
If I say "there are countries with an access to a sea, and there are also countries without an access to a sea" does it mean that there is no truth about whether seas exist or not?
> "actual truth" obviously exists regardless of your ability to measure or perceive it.
a reasonable person would at least peruse the literature before making such strong claims as

i'm not interested in educating you on thousands (literally dating back to plato) of years of scholarship/philosophical discourse on the topic of epistemology. that's not my responsibility because you are not paying me for this - typically people charge large amounts of money for this kind of work (uni professors are well compensated).
lucky for you others have done lots of work making this information available to you for the low low price of "reading". that's why i provided the link.
Sorry, you're the one making ridiculously strong claims like "actual truth doesn't exist". The onus is on you to prove them.
Like I said in a different thread: thousands of years from now, it might literally not be possible to prove that you ever existed, but that wouldn't change the "actual truth" - the fact that you did exist, and do things. Stuff happens outside of your person, in the real world, without regard for our ability to perceive/articulate/"know" it. It's only possible to say things like "actual truth doesn't exist" if you think your mind is the only thing that really exists.

My man forget thousands of years in the future you don't know whether I exist today lololol
> Cool. Then don't start a discussion with m
I didn't? I told you were wrong and that's it (and then you got pissy). I know that's what happened because each of ours responses are recorded on this indelible/irrefutable medium lololol
