It is a system of facts, information and skills acquired by an individual through experiences or training in a particular subject that relate to our best understanding at a particular time. However, knowledge is not concrete: it can be an alternation of information that is constantly updated and improved.

It is accepted as definitive truth until the contrary is disproved. This is seen in many scientific theories or historical beliefs. However a counterclaim can include the question of whether or not we are progressing or regressing in knowledge? We humans know that the direction in which we seek to reveal truths is constantly changing.
