"Is truth a thing? Can science measure it?"

Truth is a logical value of an observable, or statement. Logic and the scientific method can be used to determine the truth, or likelihood of truth, that an observable, statement, hypothesis, or theory is true.

Truth is a logical value of an observable, or statement.

As I said, it's a philosophical consideration, not something that can be determined by scientific investigation. It's a subjective determination, not an objective measurement of material parameters.
