I guess, if there was an omniscient being (which I am not claiming), it's what they would know.
It is a very interesting philosophical question in which sense sciences approach something like a truth. I've sat in a cool lecture about this by that guy once. We don't know whether the objects in our theories, and our laws of physics correspond to anything of the same form in reality, as it is not clear what that would even mean. What would a statement even look like which is absolutely equivalent to an aspect of underlying reality?
We know that our theories are predictive for a wide range of phenomena, and that there are only a handful of phenomena which e.g. are in contradiction with the standard model of particle physics, and thousands which are in agreement. That's more than nothing.
