An example would be that everyone will have to die some day. We know that for a fact because we experienced it every day even though we don’t see it every time. It is just a fact that nobody is immortal. It is something that we learned as we grow older. we learned facts everyday through our sensory perceptions. These facts will add up and caused us to understand the world better. the fact that we die someday is not something that we know since we are still living. But the fact that we know for SURE that we die is because of the things that happened in our history that we have learned. The answer to the question are we going to die is an obvious yes, but the how and why part is something that we have yet to experienced. Natural science is one of our areas of knowledge and to die sometimes in the future is certain because it is natural for people to die and it is normal. To sum it all up, the little things that we learned each and everday will contribute to the history of our mind and we get smarter and understand more and more about the things that are going on around us everyday. These little things will be enough for us to make predictions about how we see the future.
If something lies outside our realm of perception, then how can we know it?
