According to the theory of potentiality, it is impossible to assert at all – one can only assume. A statement is a hidden assumption: behind every “I know “or” I believe “there is a”guess”. So we assume.
But why “nothing”? There are actual judgments that cannot be refuted, they are 100% accurate. If you throw an apple in the air while on the Ground and don't catch it in your hands, it will fall to the ground – and this is an absolute fact. The fact that (according to historical sources) nazi Germany invaded the territory of the USSR on June 21, 1941, marking the beginning of the Great Patriotic War is also a fact (try to refute it!).
Well, if we are dealing with evaluative or theoretical judgments, then, of course, we cannot say anything 100 percent. When we talk about any assessment, we are not dealing with subjective reality, but with the opinion of this or that person. And the opinion, as you know, each person has his own, and it can differ even in the smallest details, because each person perceives the world differently, he has his own unique experience behind him.
When we are dealing with scientific theories or hypotheses, then, alas, nothing can be 100% confirmed. Yes, an apple falls to the ground if we throw it, but the elementary physical laws that explain this phenomenon can be challenged. And many people do, especially representatives of the pseudoscientific environment. People simply agreed: yes, there are such phenomena, so it can be explained with the help of laws, some of which were invented by some one person (from their own field), and we will call them that, and somewhere we will add them adjusted for modernity. But all this was invented by us, people, and these or other laws reflect the essence of phenomena only for you and me. And much can be disputed: the hypothesis that 2+2=5 has the right to exist, has its supporters and opponents. Here we cannot speak of a 100% probability, just as we cannot say that 2+2=4. And this is a fairly simple example. There are more complex theories and hypotheses, such as Darwin's. His theory of evolution has a huge number of opponents in the scientific community, and someone in principle does not agree that man descended from a common ancestor with the ape, and someone is ready to argue about the specific components of this theory (this, as well as subsequent discoveries, actually led to the emergence of a synthetic theory of evolution).
In fact, you can, if you limit the “range of approval”. For example, does the law of attraction work in your house, the author? I think so. Is it possible to say this 100%? Yes, quite. We are not talking about anomalies, and not about space.
Although, it all depends on a person's personal belief in some supernatural things. For example, that it is someone immaterial and invisible who moves things strictly down or along a certain trajectory, and in general Newton and Galileo were fools.
If we talk about the everyday level, the answer is indecently obvious: everyone has their own life, their own situations in life, their own dependencies on these situations. To say something definite even about the future minute is impossible, well, at all.
