Is truth relative or rigid? (2)

Is truth relative or rigid? This question is often pondered by many a philosophy major, or some guy in the shower. I happen to be the latter. This thread is for discussion, civil discourse, and thoughts regarding this matter. Before we all start though, let's define some terms.
-truth will be defined as an accurate viewpoint for which there are right and wrong answers.
-Relative will be defined as something that is considered in relation to something else
-Rigid will be defined as not changeable or adaptable.
All right, let's go! I won't reveal my personal stance on the issue unless I feel a strong urge to do so, but I'm excited to see what this discussion brings!

It depends.

Now I know, oof, what an answer, what's that supposed to mean. I'll make it brief.

If it's subjective, it's relative since no one can do anything about it. Things which are true to you, like an opinion, can't be told to be false, since it's truly what you think. On those matter, truth is relative on whoever claims it.

It's rigid if it's something out of the subjective fields. Anything based on measurements, numbers or science can only be told to be wrong with the progress of measurements, numbers or science. When something is proved, like the weigh or something or the composition of water, there are solid proof based on science and not opinion. As such, it is solid.

Basically: truth coming from opinions is relative and whatever isn't is solid.
