NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Reveals Surprising Galaxy Spin Patterns

A recent investigation into data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled an intriguing phenomenon among the rotation of galaxies. The study, part of the Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), was led by Lior Shamir, an associate professor of computer science at Kansas State University.

In analyzing a sample of 263 galaxies, Shamir observed that approximately two-thirds of these galaxies spin in a clockwise direction, while only a third exhibited counterclockwise rotation. This finding, presented in a paper published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, poses a challenge to the assumption that galaxy rotations should be evenly distributed.

Traditionally, it was expected that the universe would present a balanced mix of clockwise and counterclockwise spinning galaxies, but Shamir’s findings indicate a significant asymmetry. “It is still not clear what causes this to occur, but there are two primary possible explanations,” Shamir noted, suggesting that one possibility is that the universe itself began with a rotation, aligning with theories that view the universe as originating within a black hole.

This concept lends additional weight to a speculative theory known as “Schwarzschild cosmology,” which posits that our galaxy exists within a black hole, situated inside a larger universe. Such theories entertain the notion that other black holes observed may serve as wormholes, or Einstein-Rosen bridges, connecting to dimensions beyond our perception due to the light-blocking nature of these black holes, as reported by Space.com.

Nikodem Poplawski, a theoretical physicist from the University of New Haven who supports theories regarding the existence of portals to alternate universes, commented, “The simplest explanation for the rotating universe is that it was born from a rotating black hole. A favored axis, inherited from its parent black hole, may have influenced how galaxies rotate, leading to this clockwise-counterclockwise inequality.” He expressed great enthusiasm for the implications of this discovery, stating, “If confirmed, the JWST’s findings would be a strong endorsement of the theory linking black holes to the creation of new universes.”

However, the implications of Shamir’s observations could also suggest that the rotation of our own Milky Way galaxy might affect the spin distribution of other galaxies. As the Earth revolves around the Milky Way’s center, galaxies rotating in the opposite direction could appear brighter, potentially skewing the observational data collected by the JADES team.

Shamir has indicated that this velocity may have a more significant impact on our celestial measurements than previously recognized. “If that is indeed the case, we will need to re-calibrate our distance measurements for the deep universe,” he emphasized. “This adjustment could also resolve various unresolved issues in cosmology, such as discrepancies in the universe’s expansion rates and age estimates for large galaxies that appear older than the universe itself.”
