Why does everything in the universe spin?

Too much booze!
 
Because we are just lint in some gods dryer.

No, we're not logically the lint, we're logically the producer of what God needs from this universe. Given: There is meaning to the universe, if it is just a random happenstance, nothing but chaos applies.

Consider the universe as a big machine that converts matter into energy, a multi process plant that not only produces but produces and refines through multiple steps. The "end product" of this process will be the most rare output, and it would come from the most rare source. The most rare source of energy in the universe is life, and the most rare product is thought. Thought also happens to be the one thing we produce that has the potential and ability transcend our immediate environment.

Logically, if we provide a service to God it would be more akin to keeping his beer cold.
 
Conservation of Angular Momentum.

There is only one of an infinite number of initial conditions that leads to no spin. Only in the incredibly unlikely even that anything formed with absolutely no movement except in the direction of collapse would a body form without spin. Even the slightest perterbation from that perfect condition will be amplified as the body coalesces and has a smaller and smaller physical extent in order to conserve angular momentum.
 
Because as much as we try, there is not enough opposite rudder in the entire universe.
 
Probably has something to do with hydrogen. :wink2:
 
A better question is why the universe has a lot more matter than antimatter. The Standard Model shows no distinction between the two aside from opposite charge.

The supposed total angular momentum of the universe is zero, but that's not a provable statement. There isn't any evidence to the contrary and most of the models naturally produce angular momentum only in the context of quantum fluctuations.

Good question, my guess would be that SpaceTime provides a 'membrane' between the two the small amounts of imbalanced anti mater can be provided for as bleed through at powerful cosmic events that produce Gamma Ray bursts, Quasars, and such.

The interesting thing about the Higg's Boson is that it came in at 126.5 GV almost half way between the 115 predicted under the Super Symmetry model and 140 of the Multiverse model. This means either both models are wrong, or both models are right, with modification to each. The Multiverse model is correct that there is an infinite number of universes, however it is incorrect that it is chaos. The ordered universe does exist as we observe it in this slice of time. Thing is, every slice of time is another universe, and time travels at the speed of light, only information can travel faster, instantaneously, outside of time, yet inside our universe as well.

GRBs and Quasars are well explained without any resort to exotic means like this.

You misunderstand. I don't mean the Quasars and GRBs are created this way, they provide a potential path and force through the "membrane" between the matter and anti matter sides of the Multiverse. Just a way to explain the imbalance in matter and antimatter in our universe, it gets here accidentally through these weak spots and/or tears in the fabric of Space Time.
 
Because God is a politician. He spins everything.
 
Makes an excellent punch line to a Daffy Duck gag.
 
If you go to a T&A bar in Sydney, Brisbane, Melborne, or Perth, do the tassells twirl in the opposite direction than here in the Northern Hemisphere?

I heard it was the beta asymmetry. And they that is? Well, just because. Remember that universe is mostly neutrinos and photons. Everything else has recombined in the 1st millisecond after the Big Bang.

Beta asymmetry is a different expression of the same thing; it's not a cause. It means you have more neutrinos than antineutrinos. Why would that be?

Universal CP symmetry is definitely ruled out; it has been observed in neutral K, B and now D meson decay. That is a necessary condition for matter/antimatter asymmetry, but why should it exist, and why should it be so small as to only be a factor in rare neutral meson and a few hadron decays?
 
Why? Counterpoise to ultimate entropic stasis.

Our reason for existing is to counter entropy by imposing order on chaos; in the service of this goal it has become necessary to apprehend the true nature of as much of the universe as we are able. We exist as part of the organs of perception by which the universe perceives itself.

Tough job, but apparently someone has to do it.

Nah...that just keeps the BED from spinning. The room still spins! :D

P.G. Wodehouse has classified this phenomenon:

"I am told by those who know that there are six varieties of hangover — the Broken Compass, the Sewing Machine, the Comet, the Atomic, the Cement Mixer and the Gremlin Boogie, and his manner suggested that he had got them all."

Yep, pretty accurate, we provide the information that becomes the universe. We build the future with what we perceive.
 
Shouldn't this topic be in the Spin Zone?

And if there was a spin zone, would that not imply that the rest of the POA is not in a spinning state?
