<p>It depends on how you look at it, and what you believe. It is actually a very deep philosophical question that can be examined from a lot of perspectives. </p><p>For instance there are objectivists, who believe that things, matter, exist independent of human perception. To these people all matter by the virtue of their existence, partake of an aboslute truth. Plato believed in fact that for every object there is a Truth, and all other objects take their form as an imitation of this Truth. To these people there is always a right answer. </p><p>And then there are the subjectivists, or the relativists, who believe that things exists only in our individual minds. To these people there is no absolute truth, and therefore, no absolute answer. Your truth may be different from mine. They stress subjective experience and the individual differences among everyone. </p><p>There are moral relativists, who believe there is no all- encompassing, absolutely correct answer to any question about morality. There are the epistemological relativists, who stress differences in knowledge and its application. There are cultural relativists who stress respect of cultural differences. According to them all culture has its own vital outlook of life and it may be very different from others and no one has the right to imprint on or try to dictate to others what they feel is "right."</p><p>Another way of looking at it might be through an empirical lens; that is from our sense-experiences. We may both LOOK at the same object but SEE different things. There is a popular story about blind men who were told to feel an elephant with their arms, one touched its tusk another touched its trunk and thought it was a snake, others all touched different parts and in the end they all argued amongst each other as to what animal they are touching. </p><p>What I'm saying is, who knows whether our senses really aren't enough to perceive our environment as a whole. Which is why your answer might not be the same as mine. And we may not be able to capture the whole scene and we fight amongst ourselves like the blind men instead of respecting each other's differences. </p><p>I will add as a conclusion that thanks to advancement in sciences we are at least getting closer to attaining objectivity in certain problems. And as a scientist you must believe in objectivity and try to arrive at the most correct answer possible. </p>
