Concepts of Truth
music4lyfeBefore 1972, scientists believed that the rings of Saturn were composed of gasses or dust; on tests, any student who claimed that Saturn's rings were composed of solids was incorrect because the true answer was that the rings were a gas. Later scientific investigation has shown that the rings are, in fact, composed of solid matter. Did the truth change? Should these students retroactively be given credit?
