The James Webb Space Telescope has found that the vast majority of deep space is rotating in the same direction.
While around two-thirds of galaxies spin clockwise, the other third rotates counter-clockwise.
In a random universe, scientists would expect to find 50% of galaxies rotating one way, while the other 50% rotate the other way.
This new research suggests there is a preferred direction for galactic rotation.
The JWST may have seen an overrepresentation of galaxies rotating in one direction.
Black holes form from stars or at the centers of galaxies, and most likely globular clusters, which all rotate.
That means black holes also rotate, and the axis of rotation of a black hole would influence a universe created by the black hole.
Another explanation is that the Milky Way's own rotation could have caused it.
