Most sciences don't care about "truth" but care about models that predict the outcome of experiments. Even a model that works perfectly doesn't mean that this model is how the universe works. The universe could work completely different but the model happens to be very accurate anyway. Think about Newtowns laws of motion. They do not describe how the universe really works but the model is still pretty accurate and useful in many situations.

Even if we some day find a theory of everything, that still doesn't mean we know anything about the true nature of the universe. Just that everything we can observe is described by the model we developed.

The current model is always defined as, "to the best of our current knowledge," not, "this is the answer." Often, a discovery is made that furthers our understanding of the rules of one tiny part of our existence, and through that knowledge come many other breakthroughs.
