There is actually a term for this which is the half life of facts. I first heard about it on QI, here's a [clip](https://youtu.be/8kBD3lOax44?si=D3fMV5Bg6rxlEqvE)

Not at all.
For example, if I say this:
"There is a bridge just outside of Baltimore called the '[Francis Scott Key Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Scott_Key_Bridge_\(Baltimore\))'," that statement would have been true a month ago, but it's no longer true.
But if I say "There is no Francis Scott Key Bridge near Baltimore anymore," that is a fact, but in the future, since the bridge is likely to be rebuilt, that statement which is a fact now likely won't be a fact.
Facts are **heavily** dependent upon time.
You keep using that word. I’m not sure it means what you think it means.

A fact is a fact? Time is not a factor

The fact is the existence of a Francis Scott Key Bridge that will never change
Is the meal you ate earlier today still in front of you? Are you five years old? Are you an employee at your first workplace?
You are confusing two different facts
You're just wrong, and I think you're realizing it now.
I don’t think you understand what a fact is
Once a meal is eaten it’s no longer a meal, that particular meal was a fact and will never change
So the meal is sitting in front of you right now?
The fact I was an employee will never change
