Do you think this will work?
Reality isn't what it seems. This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.
This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.
At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.
We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.
These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.
From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.
I hope that helps to answered your question.

Some have said death yet there are those that believe in eternal life. Others have said that we need air to breathe but there are those that say it is energetic life force or prana not air that keeps us alive. Some believe in a creator, others dispute that. I think if you can find one indisputable and common belief, you may have the seed to grow peace and reconciliation. I don't know what it is however I believe that there probably is at least one thing that fits your criteria.

You just said universal truth, it is a consensus agreement.
examples are:
1. The acquired knowledge we learn from Math and Sciences, and other fields of education.
2. Moral law. Everyone basically has to conform themselves to the standards and norms created by the society
otherwise other objects/subjects for truth is relevant to each of his own.

World philosophy is a strange thing indeed seeing as philosophy is man's opinion of the world around them. Some things to think about as you think about this question would be some of the major world philosophies that lead us in our views as a society today. The end justifies the means would be one. Another would be ethic nature is pre-programmed. These are just two out of many philosophical points of view. Is what is right for me right for you?

Cognito ergo sum. I think therefore I am.
Descartes' Meditations have established that there is indeed one undeniable truth. I am. I cannot prove the existence of you or anyone else, but I must believe that my thoughts exist. For even to think that I have no thoughts is a thought that I possess so I must therefore be a thing that thinks.
Now then, beyond that, there is trouble. It is largely agreed that Descartes failed in his attempt to prove the existence of anything outside of himself; that said, there is still active debate on whether or not we can prove the existence of the external world.
In short, the only universal truth is that we can think. Beyond that essentially ever answer to every question is in some way subjective.

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Honestly, I dont think there is. Although, in order to have peace on this earth we all need to start with something. If everyone would just believe in the golden rule (treat others as you want to be treated) this world would be such a different place.

Sure there is. It's discovering what that truth is that presents the true challenge.
Good luck.
To those who are saying "We all die." and things like that... first we all have to agree that we are indeed living, that we are here in the first place.
