My question is this.?

Since all particles in the universe have spin on axis and have charge related poles, do these poles align, in free space away from the influece of other matter, to a common up and down or just wobble around at random? In other words,does the universal spacetime confluence have a north and south pole? And if so, where are they?

    Particle spin isn't like what you think. "Spin" is just a property of elementary particles, just like "colour" or "flavours" of quarks. It's just a nickname, not to be taken literally.

    Also, not all particles are charged, and even the charged particles don't have poles.

    Anyway, there is no universal aligment, everything is at random.

    The distances are so great that even gravity eventually is erased by noise so your answer would have to be no.
