This is simply not true!

There ain't no way to make photos of the 'entire universe', because the 
universe is REALLY vast.

What we see and actually call 'universe' isn't universal at all, but is 
physically our own past light-cone.

This past-light-cone is actually depending upon our own position and 
ain't universal at all.

To estimate the topology of the entire universe is actually difficult 
and hardly anybody does that correctly.

My own way goes like this:

I take a usual spacetime diagramm as a certain form of an 
Argand-diagram, hence regard the axis of time as local and imaginary.

This axis of time is 'vertical' to the usual spacelike direction (of the 
observer in question). (This is what the multiplication with i provides.)

Now to any observer belongs an axis of time and a perpendicular 
hyperplane of the present.

Now these hyperplanes can have any directions possible and therefore 
also local times, which are at an angle towards each other or possibly 
also pointing in opposite directions.

So: in the 'real universe' the axis of time is NOT universal. Also the 
local direction of time is NOT universal.

In contrast we have to considere, that timelines exist, which point into 
opposite directions.

This topology requires so called 'complex four vectors' (aka 
'bi-quaternions').

Since harly anybody uses these constructs, hardly anybody understands 
the universe.

The 'universes at an angle' are usually not visible.

You can't see or measure them, even if they are there.
