i've been reading about the big bang lately, and the curious flatness of it, so that got me thinking.
could it be that the big bang spun the universe into being, and the reason its still rapidly accelerating, is that our space-time is still spinning in a 5th dimension?
what i'm thinking of is, the universe is like a lump of slime. with an extreme viscosity.
and at a certain point it started spinning along an axis, thereby creating the universe.
the spin makes it flatten out along along that axis.
this is just a wild thesis though.
