does truth exist?

[Deleted member 53821]

Is it possible for two people to be set up on a lie detector machine and give two conflicting accounts of the same event without the machine indicating one is telling the truth and the other is not telling the truth?

Of course...that's not "truth" necessarily...it's perception...what they think they saw.

There are many types/categories of truth...some proveable...some not.

Also, eye witness accounts are very unreliable.

Would all the supposed different kinds of truth contradict one another? Or would they all say the same thing?
