Much Ado Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 If our universe is in orbit around something, what would the evidence look like ? If the orbit were irregular ? If it was spinning/rotating ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordred Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 If the Universe was orbitting something (assuming the possibility) our universe would be inhomogeneous and anistropic. We would notice a preferred direction in expansion with a higher mass density as you approach the orbitting body. If our own universe is rotating upon itself we would also see a non uniform mass distribution. Our universe however is homogeneous and isotropic which combined has a uniform mass distribution.

Klaynos Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 If our universe is in orbit around something, what would the evidence look like ? If the orbit were irregular ? If it was spinning/rotating ? Just double checking. Do you mean universe or galaxy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
