New Rotating Universe Model Offers Possible Solution to Hubble Tension

The proposed model suggests the Universe rotates once every 500 billion years, potentially reconciling conflicting expansion rate measurements.

The Universe May Be Rotating Once Every 500 Billion Years, And It Could Explain The Hubble Tension
Major Problem in Physics Could Be Fixed if The Whole Universe Was Spinning

Overview

  • Physicists have introduced a model proposing that the Universe rotates at an extremely slow rate, completing one rotation every 500 billion to trillions of years.
  • This rotation could explain the Hubble tension, resolving discrepancies between local and cosmic microwave background expansion rate measurements.
  • The model builds on earlier observations of preferred galaxy spin directions, adding plausibility to the idea of a rotating cosmos.
  • The theory operates within a Newtonian framework and avoids violating relativistic principles, such as exceeding the speed of light or creating time paradoxes.
  • Further computer simulations and modeling are planned to test the model's predictions and compare them against established cosmological observations.
