Researcher Lior Shamir of the University of Kansas (USA) at the meeting of the American astronomical society has presented the data analysis of more than 200 thousand spiral galaxies. The work proves that the universe might have a certain structure, and at an early stage of its existence, she can spin.

As stated on the University website, the new data contradict popular assumptions about krupnomasshtabnogo and chaotic Universe. From the time of Edwin Hubble, astronomers believed that the universe is expanding without any particular direction. It is also believed that galaxy it distributed without a particular cosmological structure.

However, the analysis of more than 200 thousand spiral galaxies has revealed an unexpected connection between the directions of their rotation. They presuppose a certain structure that does not meet the notions of a chaotic existence of the Universe.

Observations have shown that spiral galaxies located in different parts of the Universe, though separated by time and space but linked through the direction of their rotation. Spiral galaxy is a unique astronomical object, as its appearance depends on the point at which it looks to the observer.

for Example, a spiral galaxy rotates clockwise, when viewed from Earth. But if you watch it from the opposite side, you will find that it rotates counterclockwise, and Vice versa. This came from the researchers.

They believe that if the universe is isotropic and has a certain structure, as predicted by earlier theories, the number of galaxies rotating clockwise, should be about equal to the number of galaxies that rotate counterclockwise.

the Researchers first used a vast array of data obtained with the help of a new robot system panoramic view of the sky. The computer helped to organize them. It turned out that the number of galaxies spinning clockwise and counterclockwise, is not the same.

the Difference is small, it amounts to little more than two percent. But the probability of random occurrence of such asymmetry in the study of such a large number of galaxies were negligible – less than one in four billion.

the Simulation covered a huge distance of more than four billion light years. The asymmetry in this range is not homogeneous – it grows as the distance of galaxies from Earth. This indicates that the early universe was more organized and less chaotic than it is now.

“If the Universe has an axis, then it is not a simple single axis, like carousels, says Shamir. Is a complex alignment of multiple axles, which also have a certain offset”.
