The "universe" refers to all of space, time and matter combined, but especially all of the galaxies with stars and planets in outer space. In the case of this video, the "universe" is used more as slang to mean something like "fate" or "destiny", referring to the idea that someone's fate is determined by the processes of the universe. Here's some examples of "universe": Ex: There are billions of galaxies in the universe. Ex: It's up to the universe to decide what happens next.
