Nope, facial and body symmetry can determine if someone is considered universally beautiful.

Facial and body symmetry is ugly or at least scary. You've just never seen people with that.

Other than that - beauty is by definition your own opinion on whether something looks good or bad. If there's a single person in the world who disagrees - then it's not universal. If there is none, but there may be the next moment - then it's not universal.

and there are things that move the world entirely

Nothing moves the world entirely. Majority vote doesn't apply here and even the 3 (or up to 7, whatever) sigma rule doesn't.

I respect your wrong opinion, have a nice day.

Take a sufficiently well-centered photo, leave only the left or the right half, and replace the other one with its mirrored version. Then honestly say whether what you see is beautiful or ugly.

If you know that, just walk around here trolling, then bon appetit and ignore my advice.
