Sure, 92,960,000 miles away from here, give or take a few depending on the time of day. Distance is measured in a manner that is relevant to two points and an agreed upon standard of division between them.
Say the statement was "the sun (point a) is exactly 40 miles(agreed upon standard of division) from the edge of the universe (point b). It would be true or false regardless of whether or not we had (or even could) measure it.
(entertaining the notion of the edge of the universe for the lulz)
@ Rhizo, how do you know that there are unknowable things? I would concede easily that there are unknown things, but there's a line between unknown and unknowable, wouldn't you agree?
