​
So based upon a limited knowledge one can form an assumption that can never be proven.
​
That is not the whole story though. We can test the consequences of the outcome of a given phenomena that the assumption provides for us. But as knowledge progresses the noose draws tighter on the relative certainty of the model even though certainty itself cannot really be achieved.
​
The best that can be accomplished is a model that best describes the observations made.
