What we “know” is what best fits what we observe. As observations improve then we we know becomes more refined. It appears that the sun revolves around the earth but as instruments and observations progressed we gained a different understanding. It takes time.

I was in Copenhagen in the 1980s and stopped to watch a street magician. He was speaking American English and when he asked for a volunteer I somehow convinced him to pick me. He was from Lewiston, I was from Bangor.
