Everything we ‘know’ is provisional. A search for ultimate truth is a bugaboo that is destined for ultimate failure. 

But so what? We don’t need ultimate, final proof of anything - not in maths, not in science, not even in relationships. If we arrive at an approximation of truth that appears to fit what we observe and can reason out, that seems enough to get by on.
