If you get to think of it, you'll find ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Why???
Because basically everything that occurs around you is unknown, and when people forecast the weather for example, they just "Predict" nothing less not nothing more. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes they get it wrong; just luck!
Or else no Ships would've sank in the sea or something because of the storms and the bad weather! Don't you think! :)
That's the GLORY of it! That you don't know what's coming next or what's gonna happen after wards or... or... or... etc :)

“What is Knowledge?” Plato approached the idea of “Knowledge” through a four-level diagram. He was instrumental in questioning the difference between knowledge and opinion. For Plato, the notion of knowledge was related to human soul. He expostulated his philosophical theory of the “tripartite soul” to counter the cultural and moral relativism of the time. Among other areas of knowledge, Plato was concerned with the understanding of “justice,” which he discussed extensively in Book I of Republic.
Interestingly, the concept of justice was based on the idea of soul. The ideal running of a government reflected the harmonious working of the constituents of soul. He also extended the metaphor of soul to the principle of mathematics.
The strains of harmony continued with Plato’s definition of “Good Life.” Good Life did not signify the “Christian denial of body and contempt of flesh;” Plato associated Good Life with the “Life of Reason.” This entailed a true blend of bodily energy and mental sharpness.

Depends on your school of thought within Epistemology, the branch of philosophy which deals with knowledge:
Empiricism - Knowledge is a product of human experience.
Idealism - Knowledge is all a product of the mind.
Relativism - Knowledge and truth are relative.
Skepticism - We cannot "know" anything.
and so on..
Do some reading and decide for yourself. It's interesting stuff.

Nothing. Everything is assumed. Nothing can ever be fully known. Deviations are inevitable.

Even if nothing else is known, we will at least know that we know nothing.
