Is our universe trapped inside a black hole? This James Webb Space Telescope discovery might blow your mind

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.

If the universe was indeed born rotating, it means that existing theories about the cosmos are incomplete.

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 for why the JWST may have seen an overrepresentation of galaxies rotating in one direction.
