| There exists a theory that the Internet contains the sum total of all human knowledge, averaged out over all the various sites. Assuming this is true, with a sufficiently powerful search tool we could discover the validity of any proposition. The truth returned would be an objective truth, not subjective to any group or individual smaller than the entire human race.
Using the AltaVista search engine to approximate this tool (mostly because it's easy), we could tap this immense intelligence with today's technology.
Various websites have realized this, and offer the objective truth on a variety of subjects. Some samples:
