The context for this study is well summarized by the title and lead-in from an April 18, 2025 LiveScience article—“Universe may revolve once every 500 billion years—and that could solve a problem that threatened to break cosmology.” “A slowly spinning universe could resolve a puzzle in physics known as the Hubble tension, a new model suggest.”

From The Urantia Book:
(12:1.11) The Paradise-Havona System, the eternal universe encircling the eternal Isle, constitutes the perfect and eternal nucleus of the master universe; all seven of the superuniverses and all regions of outer space revolve in established orbits around the gigantic central aggregation of the Paradise satellites and the Havona spheres.
[All of Section 4: Space and Motion is important to the subject.]
(12:4.15) But the greatest of all such distortions arises because the vast universes of outer space, in the realms next to the domains of the seven superuniverses, seem to be revolving in a direction opposite to that of the grand universe. That is, these myriads of nebulae and their accompanying suns and spheres are at the present time revolving clockwise about the central creation. The seven superuniverses revolve about Paradise in a counterclockwise direction. It appears that the second outer universe of galaxies, like the seven superuniverses, revolves counterclockwise about Paradise. And the astronomic observers of Uversa think they detect evidence of revolutionary movements in a third outer belt of far-distant space which are beginning to exhibit directional tendencies of a clockwise nature.
(14:0.1) THE perfect and divine universe occupies the center of all creation; it is the eternal core around which the vast creations of time and space revolve. Paradise is the gigantic nuclear Isle of absolute stability which rests motionless at the very heart of the magnificent eternal universe. This central planetary family is called Havona and is far-distant from the local universe of Nebadon. It is of enormous dimensions and almost unbelievable mass and consists of one billion spheres of unimagined beauty and superb grandeur, but the true magnitude of this vast creation is really beyond the understanding grasp of the human mind.
(15:3.7) The Sagittarius sector and all other sectors and divisions of Orvonton are in rotation around Uversa, and some of the confusion of Urantian star observers arises out of the illusions and relative distortions produced by the following multiple revolutionary movements:
(15:3.8) 1. The revolution of Urantia around its sun.
(15:3.9) 2. The circuit of your solar system about the nucleus of the former Andronover nebula.
(15:3.10) 3. The rotation of the Andronover stellar family and the associated clusters about the composite rotation-gravity center of the star cloud of Nebadon.
(15:3.11) 4. The swing of the local star cloud of Nebadon and its associated creations around the Sagittarius center of their minor sector.
(15:3.12) 5. The rotation of the one hundred minor sectors, including Sagittarius, about their major sector.
(15:3.13) 6. The whirl of the ten major sectors, the so-called star drifts, about the Uversa headquarters of Orvonton.
(15:3.14) 7. The movement of Orvonton and six associated superuniverses around Paradise and Havona, the counterclockwise processional of the superuniverse space level.
(15:3.15) These multiple motions are of several orders: The space paths of your planet and your solar system are genetic, inherent in origin. The absolute counterclockwise motion of Orvonton is also genetic, inherent in the architectural plans of the master universe. But the intervening motions are of composite origin, being derived in part from the constitutive segmentation of matter-energy into the superuniverses and in part produced by the intelligent and purposeful action of the Paradise force organizers.

Excerpts from the April 18, 2025 LiveScience article—“Universe may revolve once every 500 billion years—and that could solve a problem that threatened to break cosmology.”
In 1929, astronomer Edwin Hubble published a paper demonstrating that the universe is expanding. It gave rise to the Hubble constant, the number that describes how fast the universe is expanding.
But it eventually created a puzzle, called the Hubble tension, because this cosmic expansion differs depending on what cosmic objects are used to measure it.
A new mathematical model could resolve the Hubble tension by assuming the universe rotates. …
The idea of a rotating universe isn’t new; mathematician Kurt Gödel introduced the idea in a 1949 paper published in the journal Reviews of Modern Physics. Other researchers, like Stephen Hawking, have also explored this theory. In the new study, the team applied the rotation to the Hubble tension. Because all celestial objects — including planets, stars, galaxies and black holes — rotate, this behavior naturally extends to the universe as a whole, the study authors proposed.
“Much to our surprise, we found that our model with rotation resolves the paradox without contradicting current astronomical measurements,” Szapudi said.

Six years earlier on July 7, 2019, LiveScience published “Does the Universe Rotate?” This one provides some evidence against a spinning universe based on light from the cosmic microwave background.
On July 8, 2011, DiscoveryNews published “Is The Universe Spinning?” It states:
In a study of over 15,000 galaxies by Michael Longo and co-investigators at the University of Michigan, the researchers report that spiral galaxies preferential spin clockwise or counter clockwise depending what hemisphere of the sky they are in. …
Looking northward, above the plane of our Milky Way, he found that more than half of the spirals were spinning in a counterclockwise direction in the sky. This overabundance seems small, only seven percent of the total observed galaxy sample. But the odds of it being purely due to chance are a one in a million say the researchers.
