Cool theory. But should not work if the universe is much larger than what can be seen though? Unless it’s just our visible part of the universe is rotating in a mind boggling large structure? And why not? All matter clumps, and a huge universe should have countless structures that are the size of all we know

I think as telescopes get better we just keep noticing bigger structures. Maybe this is just the biggest one we know right now.

I feel like it'd take some amazing statistics and millions of years of data to detail out structures larger than our observable universe.
