# Epistemology Epistemology relates to [Knowledge](Knowledge.md) and how we come to understand, [Justify](Justification.md), or [Explain](Explanations.md) things. It is about what we know, how we know it, and the methods or reasons for believing something. In science, we might say, "[The curvature of spacetime is real because it fits our best current explanations of gravity](Newtons%20Force%20of%20Gravity%20Is%20Not%20Real,%20But%20Einsteins%20Curvature%20of%20Spacetime%20Is%20Real.md)". This is an epistemic claim—it is about what we know and why we regard the curvature of spacetime as “real” based on our best theory. --- Date: 20240818 Links to: [Fabric of Reality](Fabric%20of%20Reality.md) Tags: References: * []()
