Outside of maths and physics there is no such thing as factual truths



> Outside of maths and physics there is no such thing as factual truths

But that statement is neither, so it must be false…


Isn't there? I didn't attend MIT. That is a factual truth.


Isn't MIT known for its math and physics?


Well, technically, attending is about an object being in a particular position at a particular time, so physics.


Maths has no factual truths, only logical truths. Physics has no more or less factual truths than any other branch of science.
