    Huh… this is interesting. The CMB shows no such bias. 🤔

    How large is the sample set? Aren’t almost all galaxies ancient (first billion years) and if so, what would eventually make them change rotation as observed by the ancient but nearby galaxies?

    > One explanation is that the universe was born rotating. That explanation agrees with theories such as black hole cosmology, which postulates that the entire universe is the interior of a black hole.

    We should rule *that* out… there’s too much counterevidence against this conjecture.

    > because of the Doppler shift effect, researchers expect that light coming from galaxies rotating the opposite of the Earth’s rotation is generally brighter because of the effect

    Yes, let’s factor that in before we conclude our observable universe exists within a black hole 🙄

  2. In the same way that when all ships meet in space, they’re all right side up? I mean, if I look at the Milky Way from one side, it’s rotating clockwise. If I go to the other side, it’s counterclockwise.
