Write a book and share this universal truth, translate it into all the languages, you'll make a fortune. Last I checked, a half-billion authors are still trying to establish it.

EDIT: I see you edited your comment about 'universal truth' after I answered it. I love the irony. Hail to the internet.

In case anyone wonders, I believe (heh) the comment read simply "I disagree there is no universal truth."


It's called a physics textbook and you can buy one anywhere.


There’s little money in Math.


I see. You are asserting axiomatically consistent systems are 'universal truths' in the context of things that people say online. However, math is about processing statements, and does not make an assertion about the truth of those statements in the real world, just on whether they were processed correctly.


Not quite, I am saying universal truths aren’t inherently something you are going to make a great deal of money from.

A list of previous baseball games listing just dates and teams isn’t particularly interesting even if it’s absolute truth. Meanwhile a less accurate list of future games with teams and dates is something people might actually care about.
