A team of scientists has proposed a revolutionary idea to explain one of the greatest contradictions in our understanding of the universe: the discrepancy in measuring its rate of expansion, known as the Hubble Tension. According to a study published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astro

    How does this manage to bypass the need for a center to the Universe?

    Forgive me for strawmanning but you know some idiot is going to say this contradicts “scientists’” claim that the universe is 13.8 billion years old

    Scientists propose a lot of stuff. A lot of these proposals are contradictory to each other.

    Still cool.

    If it indeed rotates, this raises another question: What does it rotate around, i.e. where is the center of the universe? How does our position in the universe relate to this center, or which (known) structures have we observed there. Could it be the Great Attractor?

      If it’s flat, and not curved, I think the center would be everywhere?

    I like the one where we live inside of a black hole, and a black hole is a gateway to another universe

      Not the most useful of gateways though if you have to be smushed to go through it.

        I believe the correct term is “spaghettification” and it’s not your ordinary everyday spaghettification, but one that happens at an atomic level.

    If you drink enough it won’t take 500 billion years to rotate. In fact, you’ll have to hold onto the grass to keep from falling off the planet.
