Tilt-A-Whirl<\/p>\n
According to new data, the entire early universe was spinning like a planet or galaxy.<\/p>\n
The new theory is based on the observation that more galaxies are spinning counterclockwise than clockwise, New Scientist reports, whereas previous models expected a balance between the two directions.<\/p>\n
There is no error or contamination that could exhibit itself through such unique, complex and consistent patterns, Kansas State astronomer Lior Shamir said in a press release. We have two different sky surveys showing the exact same patterns, even when the galaxies are completely different.<\/p>\n
Using data from three powerful observatories including the Hubble Space Telescope,according to New Scientist, Shamir and collaborators found evidence that a rotating universe influenced the spin of galaxies.<\/p>\n
And according to data presented at this months meeting of the American Astronomical Society, Shamiralso found evidence that the universe had an axis of rotation: more galaxies spun counterclockwise when looking up from the Earths poles and the opposite was true when looking from the equator.<\/p>\n
That doesnt mean that the universe itself is spinning around a single point like a giant spiral galaxy. Rather, theres evidence that it rotated across multiple complex and shifting axes at once.<\/p>\n
If the universe has an axis, it is not a simple single axis like a merry-go-round, Shamir said in the release. It is a complex alignment of multiple axes that also have a certain drift.<\/p>\n
