If you could see the entire universe at once, what would you see?
Assuming you could, of course, you obviously can't see yourself.
Also answer with the other senses.
If you could taste the entire universe at once, what would it taste like?
etc..

If I could see the entire universe all at once, I would see what ever I wanted to see, It would be awesome. I'd probably take a peek back in time too, and see the things & the people I really miss & thought I'd never see again.
If I could taste and smell and feel the whole entire universe and hear it too all at once, It would be like a really great day at a big carnival.

What appears to be the physical universe is of course energy in disguise.
E=MC2.
And fueling that is the spiritual level which scientific instruments can not detect.
Beyond the quantum level.
What would I see, taste, touch, smell?
You should read Carlos Castaneda.
You do not qualify to be The Architect. If you were, you would already know that all this is a simulation. a program running inside the mind of ....some call it God but the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy calls it ...... let's just say the answer is 42.
Don't forget your towel. Vogons are building a freeway and Earth is in the way. You've got 5 minutes.

The entire universe is too much for one's senses to perceive. The mind can only process so much information at a time. If I could see it, my brain wouldn't be able to make sense of it. Too much visual input. There would be a vast, innumerable quantity of stars, planets, moons, and other cosmological wonders. Earth would be but a speck. There'd probably be life, but in a completely different, unfathomable form-different composition, evolutionary traits, and life processes, since that life would have to survive in a different environment more and likely. I am assuming that the universe has an end, but you wouldn't be able to view it otherwise. From what I understand, many physicists claim it is expanding- though I could be wrong.

You'd see the dancing of quarks and the collisions of galaxies.
If you looked in any one direction, across trillions of light years, beyond stars and galaxies, clouds of dust and hazy through dark matter, and at the very end you would see the back of your own head.
You'd understand the universe not as a thing, not as a place, but as an event; an echo expanding forever after the hand clap that was the big bang.
You would see this kind of thing happening in your own body billions of times every second, and realize that it is happening in every single living thing on the Earth, and god knows what is happening on the quintillions of planets across the universe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJyUtbn0O5Y
And like Poodle said, GEB would make sense (great book).

You can't because it is infinite in size, and flat:
"Recent measurements (c. 2001) by a number of ground-based and balloon-based experiments, including MAT/TOCO, Boomerang, Maxima, and DASI, have shown that the brightest spots are about 1 degree across. Thus the universe was known to be flat to within about 15% accuracy prior to the WMAP results. WMAP has confirmed this result with very high accuracy and precision. We now know (as of 2013) that the universe is flat with only a 0.4% margin of error. This suggests that the Universe is infinite in extent; however, since the Universe has a finite age, we can only observe a finite volume of the Universe. All we can truly conclude is that the Universe is much larger than the volume we can directly observe."

But assuming you could see it all, you would be outside of it and no one can be outside of it. But again assuming that you could be, no one knows what you would see, since it is infinite.

I would feel the impact of the dark matter collision of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy with the Milky Way, hear the stars crying out in fear as other stars got too close.
For taste, however, I would have to ask Mary Poppins for a cookie as she stood on a ladder and pasted tin foil stars on the sky.

Everybody is with different perspective, and different sensation, as (see) and (touch) are under sensation and perspectives so it would be difficult to get the right answer bcos i might see it as spherical and you think or see it as a cone. as it is said by max wertheilmer a psychologist that wrote the theory of the school of thoughts call gestalt psychology that indicate that the whole is different from the sum of its part.

Something like being able to understand that book 'Gödel, Escher, Bach', which is a mind-blower.
Lovely music. pattern and maths .... no more mystery .... no more vainglorious seeking ..... only revelation.
The Universe would taste of carrots.
