Ahhhhh …. I see. They’ve finally found an explanation for the fact that the axis of rotation of many alaxies and quasars are so curiously aligned along ... well ... filaments. Those filaments must be cracks in the universe.Cracking the universe: Spinning black holes may create short fault lines in spacetime
… snip … two studies by Dr William East of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, has shown that similar, albeit localised, cracks may be produced in the vicinity of spinning black holes. These cracks might be detected via their gravitational and magnetic effects — and could provide an indirect way to learn the nature of the mysterious “dark matter” whose existence we can only infer from its impact on the visible universe.

One dimensional, made of highly concentrated mass/energy and potentially capable of spanning the breadth of the universe, these cracks are dubbed “cosmic strings”.
Physicists believe that a piece of cosmic string just one mile long would contain more mass than the entire Earth — and their presence has been proposed as one explanation for the irregular distribution of matter across the Universe.
In fact, in 2010, a study from physicists at the State University of New York found that the axes of the supermassive black holes at the centre of 200 of the oldest-known galaxies were aligned along an arc they believe traces the magnetic field of two primordial cosmic strings.
And, of course, the explanation involves a number of other gnomes. Read the article. You’ll see what I mean. LOL!
