"Chaucer ate fish for his final breakfast" is either true or untrue, even though there's no way to know which. There can be truths which humans can never know.

That George Washington was the first United States President is true as saying that the force of gravity is an attractive force.

But what about the 'fact' that there will be a total solar eclipse in 2024 where the path of totality cuts across Mexico and the US? Is this equally true?
