Planets, solar systems, star clusters, and galaxies all spin. Does the universe itself spin?

Everything in the universe is moving, not everything is spinning! We know the universe is expanding... if the Big Bang theory is true, I would not be sure about the spinning part (I would think that the universe is just spreading outward).
-
It depends - to you mean physically spinning like a top (we would have to have a vatage point outside of the universe to determine that) or the physical quantity of spin i.e. non classical angular momentum? Either way the answer is : I don't know :)

This is a brilliant question, because the answer is ... No one knows yet. There was a plan to send up a satellite to measure the spin polarization of the microwave background radiation, but the budget was cut.

It spins like a top does. Eventually it might lose momentum, but it will take a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg time.

Very slowly, but there is no way to see it.

I think everything is moving (including the universe). However, nobody knows for sure whether spinning is the movement for the universe itself.
