"On" is conditional upon the substance of the table and book. What you previously considered true was conditional, subjective and relative.
"The book is on the table" specifically references the present time. "The sun always rises" specifically references all time. "On" is a preposition that describes the table. "Always" is an adverb modifying the verb rises. Either every part of the sentence is true and therefore the sentence is true, or if one thing is false, the whole sentence is false. If indeed the book is on the table, that statement is true. The sentence "The sun always rises" will never be a true statement.
Fine, take out always. "The sun rises". Continue.
The book and table are both negatively ionized. They are not "on" each other. You statement is not true.
The book and table are hanging by wires but touching. They are not "on" each other. You statement is not true.
