If the universe/multiverse is actually closed at some higher dimensional level, then one day it may be possible to extrapolate forwards and backwards through time using nothing more than a computer program whereby time, space, scale, speed and resolution are the only parameters required for the inquisitive. It'd probably bear the appellation "Google Omniverse" and we'd have the ability to play around in any time within any reality and stuff.
My question is ...... how would we create this cool program/device?
Any suggestions welcome.

p.s, this quest is for scientific purposes only and not winning national lotteries, horse races or any other form of self gain.
IF we could make such a computer and the laws of the universe abide, we're way way way way way far away from it happening, so much so that I feel that any thought as to how we could make one now is ultimately futile. I mean, we'd have to know what exactly the universe is before we could even think of manipulating it like that.

What if the universe/multiverse or whatever is totally connected at some higher dimensional level?, might explain the interconnectivity between seemingly separate particles. And if the entire multiverse determines the actions of any one of it's sub components ..... perhaps we should start by analysing the behaviour of these 'entangled' entities?
