I am a 16 year old and i have been asking myself the same
question for a very long time but only recently was able to finally word the
question.. Isnt it true that there can not be a certainty of anything outside
a person's current observed world? It still sounds very wierd but if i am
sitting in a room in a building that i walked into myself, i saw all of my
surrounding as i entered the building and the room. The door is closed and
there is no way for me to observe anything on the outside of the room. I
can say that i know exactly what is outside that door because i saw it as i
came in the room, but in reality i have zero way of being competely certain
of anything i cant see or hear outside the room. I could, potentially, be in
a room floating in space and have no way of knowing, givin there isnt any
ovservable evidence of my location. It may sound strange, but i believe it
could be related to particle physics, etc. The fact is that i have no
certainty of anything outside my personal observed "picture": the
surroundings in my field of vision and what i can hear around me.
