Universe may revolve once every 500 billion years — and that could solve a problem that threatened to break cosmology

A slowly spinning universe could resolve a puzzle in physics known as the Hubble tension, a new model suggests.

Scientists Say a 500-Billion-Year Spin Could Be the Key to the Universe’s Biggest Puzzle

A tiny but radical twist in the fabric of the cosmos could offer a breakthrough in one of astronomy’s most persistent mysteries. According to a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, researchers led by István Szapudi from the University of Hawaiʻi propose that the universe might be rotating—extremely slowly, completing one turn every 500 billion years. This nearly imperceptible spin could resolve the long-s…
