The universe may have been born spinning, according to new findings on the symmetry of the cosmos

The universe may have been born spinning, according to new findings on the symmetry of the cosmos: The researchers found evidence that galaxies tend to rotate in a preferred direction. They uncovered an excess of left-handed, or counter-clockwise rotating, spirals in the part of the sky toward the north pole of the Milky Way. The effect extended beyond 600 million light years away...

Is the universe still spinning?
"It could be," Longo said. "I think this result suggests that it is."
