the universe
The whole cosmos
The universe is everything that exists—all matter, energy, space, and time considered as a whole.
In everyday use, it often emphasizes totality or vastness: She means the universe to me, I wouldn't trade this for anything in the universe.
Someone's universe can be their personal world of experience: His universe revolves around his kids.
In physics, the universe specifically means the observable cosmos and its governing laws.
