How do we know the idea that particles don’t exist in one definitive spot until we measure them, isn’t just our lack of knowledge due to not measuring them yet?

Sometimes we don’t. But that’s okay! It doesn’t mean that the answers we have now are bad. Science largely breaks down to a few simple concepts:
-Get curious and find a question you want an answer to (hypothesis)
-Spend time watching the thing you are curious about in order to make observations and learn more about it
-Check how the observed results compare to your hypothesis
-Repeat until you have an answer AND when new observations add more information
Sometimes scientists ask a good question that we don’t have the tools to make an observation about, so other scientists and engineers have to make new ways for us to “see” that thing. Part of the beauty of science is that it is always growing and allowing us to learn more with new inventions.
