I'm no physicist but it seems like large things like galaxies should tend to rotate simply by the universal expansion analog to the Coriolis effect. Is there a pattern to the rotation that could confirm or reject that?
- db48x 6y agoNo, the expansion of the universe doesn't create any forces at all. The expansion happens not because galaxies are being pushed apart, or because galaxies are moving apart, but because new distance is being created between the galaxies.
