Cosmological Questions

Below are some questions about our universe and phenomena that I would like to research and find answers to:

- What is the shape of the universe? I have always thought the visible universe to be a 4-dimensional hypersphere of space time (3 space, 1 time) but this may not be the case. Why?

- Could the microwave background as imaged by COBE or WMAP be a signature not just of the big bang but contain a quantum level message from the creator of the universe?

- If the universe can into existence from a quantum tunneling event from a false vacuum and thought is a quantum event could it be possible that the universe is an idea and our thoughts and dreams create low probability parallel universes?

- Can it be mathematically or scientifically proven that consciousness can influence reality?

- What is the process whereby an accurate simulation of the universe can be generated with all the known physical laws and how would this be distinguishable to an observer inside that universe to what we see in our own universe?
