  More recent most promising theory, that could explain it, seems to be that the universe is just spinning somewhat.
  There go the “unknown, new physics”, if this proves to be correct…

    Two questions:

    1. Why would we think otherwise considering that everything in the universe seems to rotate from galactic clusters to galaxies to black holes to stars to planets to the brains of physicists trying to reconcile relativity and quantum?
    2. Does the math actually work out? If so, is there a known constant for the angular momentum of the universe that would explain what we’re seeing?

      1. Rotation is meaningless without an external reference frame to compare against. Consider that right now the planet were on is rotating at ~1000km/h but to us it feels stationary. We only know the planet rotates because we observe the sun,moon,stars rotate around us (which ancient peoples misunderstood as earth-centerism thinking everything rotates around us)
      2. Rotation requires a center axis to rotate around. There is no true center to our observable universe, only subjective perspective reference frames. wherever you are is the center from your perspective. There is no definitive geometric center axis of our universe to rotate around.

        I’m telling you. I’ve always been telling you. We are living in a black hole. It explains elegantly a lot. It also raises absurd questions and possibilities, and nibbles at the nature of causality itself, but so help me god, we are living in a black hole.

        1. No it’s not. You can tell you’re rotating using internal sensors alone, unlike linear velocity. Just because the magnitude of the earth’s rotation is small compared to our biological sense of rotation doesn’t mean rotation is relative the same way linear motion is. You’re drawing a false connection between the fact that you can’t tell if you’re accelerating under gravity or not to rotation, which is fundamentally different. Also you don’t rotate with units of linear velocity, but with units of angular velocity. The earth rotates at about 0.0042 deg/s, which is very slow. You rotate many orders of magnitude faster than that rolling over in bed or turning your head.

        2. The universe having a nonzero total angular momentum does indeed imply an axis of rotation, but our theories don’t explicitly rule that out. Given the size of the universe, the rate of rotation would be inconceivably small compared to the earth, and extremely difficult to measure. Most of my problem with your statements on this point is you’re assuming current hypotheses to be confirmed fact set in stone, which is not true.

        2 does not preclude the observable universe being but a fraction of the entire universe, in which there is a centre about which everything else rotates, or at least, a hitherto unimagined mass on a truly universal scale that chunks of universe the size of our “observable” orbit.

    Then there’s a center and expansion differs depending where we look and where we are relative to the center. And we can calculate our position in the universe that way. Is this the case?
