Learnings, questions, comments, connections to TOK? There are multiple ways of gathering data; some of them prove to be more effective than others in certain cases. For most of these Platonic cases, I feel that we will never be completely certain (not unless some kind of technology is miraculously discovered, or found) of what really did happen. The extent of our knowledge about these facts like what happens after death or how the universe started, are all justiable opinions of people in authority, and the way we know is simply believing in these theories they postulate.
