Infrared-running gravity hints a gravity-based path to galaxy rotation without dark matter

A Space.com article reports a new theory by Naman Kumar proposing infrared-running gravity, a scale-dependent modification of gravity that could explain galaxy rotation curves without invoking dark matter while remaining compatible with early-universe constraints; however, the approach is not yet a full replacement for dark matter in cosmology, and further work is needed to compare its predictions with gravitational lensing and galaxy-cluster observations.

Astronomers Discover One of the Universe’s Largest Spinning Galaxy Structures

Astronomers have discovered one of the largest rotating structures in the universe, a cosmic filament about 140 million light years away, composed of a thin chain of hydrogen-rich galaxies that appear to rotate collectively, providing new insights into galaxy formation and the dynamics of the cosmic web.

Webb Telescope Reveals Surprising Insights into the Early Universe and Black Hole Mysteries

A study using JWST observations suggests that most early galaxies rotate in a preferred direction, which could imply that our universe exists inside a black hole or that other cosmological phenomena are at play, challenging current models of the universe.

James Webb Telescope Reveals Universe-Scale Black Hole and Cosmic Phenomena

Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope found a pattern in galaxy rotations, with about 60% rotating clockwise, leading to the bold hypothesis that our universe might be inside a massive black hole, challenging traditional cosmological models. They also consider observational biases like the Doppler effect that could influence these findings, emphasizing the need for precise measurements. This discovery could revolutionize our understanding of the universe's origins and structure.

James Webb Telescope's Distant Galaxy Discovery Sparks Black Hole Theories

Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope found a non-random pattern in the rotation of ancient galaxies, leading to a hypothesis that the universe might be inside a massive black hole, though observational biases are also considered. This discovery could significantly alter our understanding of cosmic origins and structure.

JWST Uncovers Mysteries of Black Holes and Unique Galaxies

Recent observations by JWST reveal a preferred rotation direction in early galaxies, challenging the assumption of an isotropic universe and leading to radical theories that our universe might be inside a black hole, prompting a re-evaluation of cosmological models and distance measurements.

NASA's James Webb Telescope Reveals Surprising Black Hole Insights

A study using NASA's James Webb Telescope analyzing 263 ancient galaxies suggests the universe may have a preferred direction of rotation and raises the bold hypothesis that we could be living inside a black hole, challenging traditional Big Bang theories, though further research is needed to confirm these findings.
