Is the universe rotating? This new groundbreaking theory could help resolve the Hubble tension | – The Times of India

Scientists have struggled for many decades with a cosmological conundrum known as the Hubble tension—a persistent disagreement in how quickly the universe is expanding as inferred from observations made using different methods. The disagreement arises because different methods of estimating the expansion of the universe yield different measurements. On one hand, observations on galaxy and…
