Some scientists think that the universe is uglier than we'd like to think, yet some others think that the universe is more beautiful than we think it to be. If an ugly universe were called Ugliverse, then what a beautiful universe should be called? Beautiverse?

The question is about how to make a new word properly.

Do you think the word "Beautiverse" is a proper match of "Ugliverse"?

I wrote it based on years of reading Scientific American and other materials.

If you are inventing a word you can make it anything you want it to be.

Please note that I rearranged your sentence into the form of a question.
 
Given the thinking behind this, I see no problems with the terms used, though they will need explaining to many.

If it were you, what word would you like to present to us?
