Cosmic Rotation: Not Everything Spins
Celestial bodies like planets and stars rotate, often inheriting spin from their formation. However, not all structures, such as cosmic filaments, rotate; galaxies form through matter aggregation in a rotating plane, unlike filaments. Subatomic 'spin' is not actual rotation.
