James Webb Telescope Reveals Unexpected Galaxy Rotation Imbalance

Two-thirds of observed galaxies rotate in the opposite direction to the Milky Way, challenging long-held cosmological theories.

The James Webb Space Telescope has found that about two-thirds of 263 galaxies observed rotate in the opposite direction to the Milky Way.
This discovery challenges the isotropic universe theory, which assumes the universe appears uniform in all directions.
Researchers are exploring two main hypotheses: black hole cosmology, suggesting the universe was born rotating, and the Doppler shift effect, which may bias observational data.
If the Doppler shift explanation holds, recalibration of distance measurements could resolve other cosmological discrepancies, such as differing expansion rates of the universe.
The findings highlight the potential incompleteness of existing cosmological theories, prompting calls for further investigation into the universe's structure and origins.
