A vast region of space in the distant universe is spinning in the same direction, stretching the laws of physics beyond their current limits. Astronomers at the University of Cape Town and University of the Western Cape have used deep radio imaging survey to capture radio waves emitted from jets of galaxies over a large volume of space in the distant universe. Researchers discovered supermassive black holes in a vast region of the distant universe, all spinning out radio jets in the same direction, implying a mysterious massive force is influencing their behavior that is not explainable by current laws of physics dealing with mass and gravity. The South African reports: The new result is the discovery – for the first time – of an alignment of the jets of radio galaxies over a large volume of space, a finding made possible by a three-year deep radio imaging survey of the radio waves coming from a region called ELAIS-N1 using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The radio jets are produced by the supermassive black holes at the centres of these galaxies, and the only way for this alignment to exist is if supermassive black holes are all spinning in the [...]
