This isn't a problem in abstract fields like mathematics where the premises can be defined exactly and where proof can be had. When it comes to understanding the physical universe, there is simply no way to completely eliminate uncertainty.

Actually this is a problem for math. There are statements which we cannot say are true or not true.

I should have qualified it to be some fields in math. There are of course unprovable theorems in math. My bad. :)
