Universal Truth

A universal truth remains as a constant no matter where we search within this universe. It requires no proof because it is self-evident. Humans may become aware of its existence, but such awareness has no effect on its presence. This would seem to violate a principle of physics that suggests the mere act of observation changes that which is observed. Can a universal truth be altered in this manner or in any other way?

Could be the speed of light as a constant and/or a limit which can't be exceeded.

Can you be more specific?!?

About what exactly?

@Dwight what exactly do you think is a "universal truth"? Colors are in the eye of the see-er, sound exists independently? Smell 8s subjective, and so on.....

@AnneWimsey those sound like old saws or rules of thumb. No, just as I said above, true no matter what parr of the universe you are in. Unchanging by any dimension that varies, etc. And of course, the physics paradox that I suggested.
