All astronomical objects are created by the force of gravity.
If the universe originated from something with even the slightest rotational motion, this rotation only intensifies when the object collapses.
This is due to the law of conservation of angular momentum. In a universe like ours, filled with turbulence and angular momentum, everything from tiny dust particles to galaxy superclusters has some degree of rotation.
In Einstein’s general theory of gravity, rotation causes a phenomenon known as “frame drag,” which can alter the way objects interact with gravity. However, this effect is minimal and does not significantly impact the overall gravitational field.
Therefore, if all rotation in the universe were to cease, gravity would remain essentially unchanged.
This article addresses the question (posed by Helen Marriott) “If everything stops spinning, will gravity cease to exist?”
