12 year universe

My comment:

"Univers" is a noun, not an adjective, so it deoesn't mean 'entire'. "Universel" could mean 'entire' in some cases.
Without more context, it's impossible to be sure where the '12 years' fit.

I don't think it does mean "entire" here, although without more context it's hard to be sure.
