Correct. The universe consists of the known and the unknown.

Science deals only with the known.

But there are unknown things that are true. We just can never know them.

There are also things knowable, but not knowable by science. Logic and ethics, for instance.

Here's one big question science can never answer. Why are you you? In other words, why are "you" in the particular body you happen to be in rather than someone elses? I've always found that to be a profound question, yet science can never answer it.
