Yes it is through a process called "Deductive reasoning". Deductive reasoning implies that if all of the premises are true and if the inferences are strong, it follows that the conclusion must be true. Here's an example.

I have a bag full of black marbles. I will pull out a marble and record what colour it is until the bag is empty. It follows that I will only have recorded that there are black balls in the bag.

Let's break this argument down:

1. I have a bag full of black marbles.
2. I will pull out a marble and record what colour it is until the bag is empty.
3. I will only have recorded that there are black balls in the bag.

Given that premise (1) and (2) are true, it follows that the conslusion (3) must be true.

To answer your question, in the event of an argument that uses deductive reasoning, it is possible for something to be known is absolute certainty. This works in theory, however in practise it is harder to say that all given premises are true.
