If that is true maybe that means that it actually is finite and has a center. And the rotation and light speed put an upper bound on its size.

Then again the expansion of space doesn't care about such mundane things as a cosmic speed limit so the universe rotation probably won't either. Or the extents just slow down.

And if everything is rotating, and most is rotating in the same direction, it means we're probably in a black hole.

Science is going to be interesting during the next twenty years.

Black hole cosmology makes the most sense to me. But what do I know, I’m just a burnt out stoner.

If we're a "white hole" I guess it must've been one insanely gigantic object that collapsed with no other matter around it rendering it dormant.

Unless somebody knows why we wouldn't see new violently hot matter the higher universe black hole is consuming spewing out into our universe if it were still active.

Where would it spew? There's no center as I understand? Psyduck holding head

It may have started consuming more matter billions of years later and the light hasn't reached us yet/will never reach us
