Depends on the avenue being explored. Scientific language is limited by it's descriptive nature. See pic-related if you want to develop this idea further.


Regarding "truth": a couple centuries from now most of what we now hold up as "science" will be overturned by new conceptualization alien to our current understanding; this is the general pattern throughout all of history. Does that mean our beliefs aren't grounded and the paradigms we operate within today aren't "true." Further, if you look at how the scientific enterprise operates it becomes clear that theory replacement isn't a straight forward path determined by simple falsification. Underdetermination and theory-ladenness are always present at the core and we don't even have to get into aspects incentivization (e.g. funding).
