The three correct statements about Newton's theory of universal gravitation are:

1. **The theory applies to all objects in the universe.**
2. **Gravitational force increases as the mass of objects increases.**
3. **Gravitational force increases as the distance between objects decreases.**

These statements reflect the fundamental principles of Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that every mass attracts every other mass, and the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
