The headline sounds like scientists are telling us to go live in a slow rotating universe. Jokes aside, what's in the center? A super super massive blackhole?

We're just circling a big drain

I think some might respond that there kinda is no center.. which is... bonkers really.

Another kinda wild theory that some scientists think may be valid is that we're inside a gravistar. If so, maybe the gravistar is spinning, like many black holes do

Everybody pack, we’re moving.

It could be like our galaxy for example where most of the mass is rotating around the center of gravity of the other mass, and not the black hole in the center which isn't as massive in comparison.
