we know math, 1+1=2, 2+2=4

Math is not really "knowledge of the universe" though, it's just the symbols and syntax we use to help map it when we try to understand the universe (through physics, chemistry, biology, etc.). Now, the maps that we have through maths can be extremely useful and very accurate to/representative of reality, certainly.
