Information that was fact in the past has since transpired to be falsehood in the present. Some of today's facts will be the falsehoods of the future. A fact is very strong evidence that supports a particular assertion, interpretation or observation logically & consistent with the current schema of understanding.
Facts can be true & can be false but truth is always true. Many facts of the past were considered true by the people of the past, but have since transpired to be completely or partially false. We must always keep in mind the epistemological limitations of knowledge and the influence of time on information deemed factual.
