Rotating Universe Theory: New Study Suggests Rotation Could Resolve Hubble Tension

A recent study, featured in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, proposes that the universe might be rotating, albeit at an incredibly slow pace. This revolutionary idea could potentially bridge the gap in the Hubble tension, a long-standing puzzle in cosmology.

The Hubble tension arises from conflicting measurements of the universe's expansion rate. Measurements based on distant supernovae differ from those obtained from the cosmic microwave background, the afterglow of the Big Bang.

Researchers have developed a mathematical model that incorporates a slight degree of rotation into the universe. According to the model, the universe might rotate once every 500 billion years. This rotation, though imperceptible in our daily lives, could influence the expansion of space and resolve the Hubble tension without conflicting with existing astronomical observations.
