cosmology - What's wrong with the Big Spin Model?


A Dr. Serkan Zorba has a paper on arxiv in which he considers, what if the universe is actually slowly rotating? This gives rise to centrifugal and Coriolis forces on a galactic scale that seem to perfectly explain the effects of dark energy and dark matter. Not only that, but it explains a few other observations in cosmology.


But I haven't been able to find anyone else commenting on his model, and it's been several years now. Is there something wrong with it that allows us to dismiss it out of hand? Or do other cosmologists just not care?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
