Nowadays “facts” and thus “truth” seems inescapable: there 's hardly any room for imagination, let alone for myths. However, we must not confuse facts with truth. Newton, for example, would never have come to his deep knowledge if he had not looked past the facts. There are never enough facts, if you look harder there are always other facts. It is argued that modern information and communication technology (ICT) has made the world seemingly transparent, and that 's why especially in this time “fake news” has become such a big theme.
