There Is No Such Thing As A Fact ......

[belindabee]

according to QI which I am now watching on BBC 2 Wales. And that's a fact or not or ......... ?

[bibblebub]

a conjecture

What was their reasoning for that? I like QI, but that sounds debatable!

When is a fact, not a fact ??
>> When it's not factual ..... that's it in a nutshell for me :)

[Old_Geezer]

The only fact I know is that I exist to realise that the only fact I know is that I exist to realise that the only fact I know .........

interesting because i watched that and thought there isn't, they were saying that facts they have presented on Q1 have been with time, disproven, overtaken by other so called facts, which also have been thrown aside. How do we know we exist, how do we tell the time, is it a fact that the earth exists, could be a figment of someone's overstretched imagination, no fact is provable i think they were trying to say. After all man invented a watch to tell the time, and watches are often wrong, so is it a fact that my watch says 09.44 yet my clock says 09.45?

once you are gone, how does one know you ever existed, by a piece of paper, death certificate, photo's, but photo's lie and you can forge a death certificate. funny that, i got it when Stephen Fry said it, the panel were somewhat mystified at first, good show still, makes you think...

If its in parliament it has to be denied three time then you know its a fact.

surely it depends upon the definition of the word "fact"
