I do not remember who said something like this - "I thought I knew everything, but when I really came to know, I realized that I knew nothing." What is your point in misleading others - "the Emperor's New Clothes'?

I am absolutely certain that math and science do make it possible for some things to be absolutely known, such as the nature of electricity, how to use it, and the formula that allow us to make accurate predictions that enable the modern world to be possible.

That can't be when you're asleep because you may not know if you exist. I say may not because someone may take issue with that as if maybe they know they can exist 100% of the time when they're asleep. Or 3% of the time. I am happy I usually don't remember my dreams but I do know when I awaken from sleep. Before I awaken, I don't know I am sleeping. And I believe that's 100% of the time.
I personally see that the certainty in your example is that perpetual motion is achievable, the goal is to fulfil that certainty, has it been achieved?
Back in the 90's I had a friend who said his brother had just achieved the goal. Before we lost contact with each other, there was funny things happening with that disclosure. I still have not been able to track down that good friend to see what happened.
I see there has to be absolutes in this creation. One might use the a ology that Love is an Absolute and lack of that Love is what becomes any of the doubt.

Haha. But those are the basic laws.
I see dreams as another world, where it plays out between what is reality and what life has done to influence our state of mind.
Dreams can be quite bizarre!

I am certain no one can be or has to be mislead by me. If they are, I am certain it was their choice, a choice that I would advise them against.

Absolute certainty that science invented an artificial cause, is all that I would claim as a human talking to another human.
Natural is natural and natural existed in all forms before we did and humans argue over what they should title it, from human diversity existing by self explanation. Why male in diverse cultures argue, just about the use of names and titles.
Humans are the last form in our reality, for natural owns natural change and always did....and with certainty we own ending creation, seeing humans did before.
Creation for a human is only known to a human in their own human experience, and prove that their idea of creation is only what supports their own existence.

If I want to avoid a lot of trouble and possible jail time yes, this also includes sales tax etc.

And yet, if there is no god, then your certainty has absolutely no bearing on the it.Could be, may not be, I am certain of that
Lets say there there is a God. My certainty that there is, is in no way needed by God and if this is so, it may be any certainty is just a gift, as God has made God known to me.

VERY TRUE.I am certain no one can be or has to be mislead by me. If they are, I am certain it was their choice, a choice that I would advise them against.
Well, I think I agree with the last statement above, with a slight alteration: "100% Certain, that we will mess up."
Kind of like Murphy's Law, which is also another absolute certainty.

Murphy was an optimist
Have you heard of O'Leary's Law? I use it regularly.
Murphy is an optimist!

I'm certain of two things, knowledge and faith.

Does that have something to do with Mrs. O'Leary's cow?

You can be certain in bounded scenarios with complete information and where cognitive error isn't a factor.
For example, if there are 2 kinds of milk in the shop, I can be certain that the $1 milk is cheaper than the $1.50 milk and can achieve, with certainty, my goal of buying the cheapest milk in the shop.
The vast majority of situations we deal with lack such strict boundaries, contain incomplete information and are also subject to cognitive error, so certainty is impossible.

It is an Aussie thing we take Murphey's Law, which says, “If something can go wrong, it will.”, a step further and Make up O'leary's Law to say that Murphy's Law is just way too optimistic.
