In the past decades, various cosmological theories proposing a major axis in the Universe have been put forward. These theories can be based on the geometry of the Universe or multiverse theories like black hole cosmology. The existence of a cosmological-scale axis is supported by evidence such as the dipole axis formed by the distribution of the cosmic microwave background. This study investigates another form of the cosmological-scale axis, based on the distribution of spin directions of spiral galaxies, and finds that the axis profiles are nearly identical when the redshift distribution of the galaxies is similar.
In the past several decades, multiple cosmological theories that are based on the contention that the Universe has a major axis have been proposed. Such theories can be based on the geometry of the Universe, or multiverse theories such as black hole cosmology. The contention of a cosmological-scale axis is supported by certain evidence such as the dipole axis formed by the CMB distribution. Here I study another form of the cosmological-scale axis, based on the distribution of the spin direction of spiral galaxies. Data from four different telescopes are analyzed, showing nearly identical axis profiles when the distribution of the redshifts of the galaxies is similar.
