Open Youniverse and discover the magnificence of the universe and how ornately the fabric of it is interlaced. Its design is masterful, beginning with the infinitesimal atoms that make up every living and non-living thing and moving on to the intricate molecules contained in a single drop of water. They, too, are everywhere: in blood cells that carry oxygen to tissues throughout the body, in organs as complex as the human eye, and even in the chlorophyll that allows plants to thrive. You are yet another of these miraculous wonders; you are the youniverse, and the universe is you.
