In a theory of knowledge, the differentiation must be drawn between dogmatism and skepticism.

The dogmatic school asserts that it knows the truth, while the skeptics doubt anything discovered giving an objective reality which is forever unknowable and all idealized mathematical models are just creation of the human minds. But as long as experiments agree with the mathematical models then truth and certitude can be attained by empirical evidence.

On one end, there is no certitude in the quantum mechanical model of the universe. On the other end, the un-attainability of light speed and its consequence of infinite mass and zero extension limits all knowledge of the physical boundary of the universe taken as a whole, instead of as a sum of its quanta of zero-point energy.
