Here's me thinking in my early twenties that the bed was moving because of copious amounts of alcohol
This is a tricky one I realise that this is supposed to be a new study but the idea has been going around for over a decade and has been refuted by measurements before now and this new study is relying on AI (Artificial Intelligence) to identify spin orientation of spiral galaxies throughout time. There is a very important point which has to be understood before even starting to think about this and that point is this, right now you personally are at the exact centre of the Universe, and so am I and so is a lifeform near Proxima Centauri or near Rigel or near Cygnus X1, every single point in the Universe is the centre of the Universe because it did not expand from a place it expanded from a moment. When someone says spin you imagine some frame of reference against which that thing spins and because you are human, that is a length, breadth and height reference frame that you are picturing i.e. a point in space but the problem is space does not exist separately from time, spacetime is the real reference frame and any spin would be in that frame. There is a great deal that we don't know about the Universe right now and that is exciting but these kind of observations will have to be reliably repeated by other teams before they can be trusted. In physics one of the most important questions is a symmetry question, it is why is there any matter at all, the Universe should have contained equal amounts of matter and antimatter at the beginning and through symmetry it should all have annihilated resulting in pure energy i.e. light hard gamma rays and yet we live in a Universe which looks like it has a lot of matter. This spin question is another symmetry question and certainly an interesting one. edit: a "lot of matter" is actually a very small amount but even that small amount we can see is at least 5 times too small to explain the world we live in
I should have referenced this in my prior post but the post has been up too long to enter an edit. This is a news article about one of the other studies in the last ten years. https://phys.org/news/2016-09-scientists-universe.html
