If the scientific theories keep changing where is the truth?

Personally, I believe no one sees truth in its most perfect and purest form. We interpret what we see, we interpret what we hear, and we interpret what we read, and we call that truth (or reality). Really, its a perception sometimes based on fact and sometimes not. Perceptions can be correct and on target, and sometimes the farthest thing form the truth. It's just a perception. One thing I believe we can count on is that if there is anything unchanging and stead fast, it is change itself. Change is inevitable. It will always occur.
