It's something of a paradox that no one can ever "know" that they "know" something, because in order to check whether it is actually true, you must have access to the correct answer already. And how can you "know" that what you have access to is actually the correct answer?
So although there may be facts about the universe, we cannot know for certain if we have actually discovered one or if we're simply mistaken, no matter how much we think we know it or how much evidence we have. We have models, we collect data, we make assumptions (as few as possible hopefully for the scientific mind) and we use logic.
