The absolute truth

Before knowing what is absolute truth its better to know something about what is truth?. I think truth is something which is always convincing and being in agreement which is real. One can't say whether the truth he/she know's is an absolute truth because truth can be known as truth only when it is backed up with a proof, where the proof for the truth is just to substantiate the truth which is in turn to convince us.

For example in Atomic theory, number of scientists came with different models which they believed to be true,which we believed to be true because they are backed up with necessary proofs/experiments. People moved from Rutherford's model to Bohr's model of atomic theory because it is just convincing. It is NOT just moving from one truth to another or from lower level of truth to higher. It is just believing which is convincing. The truth which is believed to be true today can be the lie of tomorrow and tomorrow's the lie of next day.

P.S The absolute truth is 'there is no absolute truth' and the absolute lie is when someone talking about absolute truth.
