That's weird considering that in lambda CDM the universe's accelerating expansion implies that stuff falls out of our observable universe, which implies that there is more stuff beyond the edge of the observable universe, and anyways there is no center of the universe and we are only at the center of our observable universe, which also further implies that there is stuff beyond the observable universe. Are they saying that our observable universe has a rate of rotation such that the tangential velocity at the edge is about the speed of light? What about the stuff beyond the edge? And as u/BigParm wonders, doesn't having the whole universe rotate imply a center? Surely we can't be at that center. But maybe there can be an illusion that we are at the center of rotation.
