LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) has just completed its fourth major observing run on November 18th. This enormous experiment listens for ripples in space-time created when black holes or neutron stars collide.
It works by firing ultra-precise lasers down a pair of four-kilometre vacuum tunnels arranged in a perfect L-shape. There are two of these detectors in the United States. One in the desert near Hanford, Washington, and one in the quiet forests of Louisiana
They operate alongside two other locations, Virgo, near Pisa in Italy, and KAGRA, deep underground in Japan. Together, all four detectors can pinpoint where in the sky a gravitational wave originated - effectively acting as a cosmic triangulation network.
Right now, scientists are analysing the newest batch of data. The raw recordings and the official event catalogue will be released to the public over the next months and years. And so far, every gravitational wave we’ve detected behaves exactly as Einstein’s general relativity predicted back in 1915.
But here’s the thrilling possibility:
What if the next release reveals something relativity says should not exist?
• Waves arriving from directions that should be impossible?
• An extra “twist” or torsion in the signal?
• A built-in left- or right-handed spin preference?
Even a single detection like that would change physics forever.
A Brief Note of Scientific Caution
None of what follows is proven - not yet. However, the clues are intriguing enough that physicists, cosmologists, and gravitational-wave analysts are quietly taking note. Science advances through hints long before it reaches certainty, and right now the universe is dropping some tantalising hints in plain sight.
1. Einstein–Cartan Theory (1928–1930)
Einstein, working with mathematician Élie Cartan, developed a more complete version of gravity - one in which space-time can twist, not merely curve. This twist is called torsion, and it arises from the intrinsic spin of particles.
Physicists have ignored torsion for a century because there was no evidence for it. Perhaps that assumption is now in danger.
2. Dr Kurt Gödel’s Rotating Universe (1949)
Gödel - yes, the same Gödel famous for his incompleteness theorems - discovered a solution to Einstein’s equations in which the entire universe rotates. In such a cosmos, the universe has a preferred handedness, galaxies favour one direction of spin, and time can even form loops.
Einstein admitted Gödel’s solution was mathematically flawless, yet he dismissed the idea that our universe actually rotates.
New hints suggest that dismissal may have been premature.
3. The New 2025 Observations
A new cosmological model shows the universe may rotate once every 500 billion years, and this tiny spin appears to resolve the long-standing “Hubble tension”.
And the James Webb Space Telescope, in its analysis of 263 early galaxies, has found that roughly two-thirds spin clockwise from Earth’s perspective. This matches exactly the sort of cosmic handedness Gödel predicted - and the kind of large-scale pattern Einstein–Cartan torsion would naturally produce.
So what if we think of a deeper picture? The universe as a single twisting scalar field?
If torsion is real, the entire universe may be built from one underlying twisting field - a sort of cosmic medium - driven forward by the flow of time itself.
In this picture, every particle is actually a stable swirl or ripple in that field:
Protons = tiny rotating Kerr-like cores anchoring the field
Neutrons = stabilisers that prevent proton cores from decaying
Quarks & gluons = the deepest torsion knots - the strong force is intrinsic torsion
Electrons = corkscrew-shaped solitons whose spin produces microscopic magnetic vortices
Neutrinos = ultra-light messenger waves travelling along the field’s “communication lines”, the thing we’ve mistaken for dark matter
Photons = instruction ripples travelling at light speed
Muons = short-lived high-energy messengers
W and Z bosons = on/off switches and stabilising nodes in the neutrino network
The Higgs field = the local density of the scalar field, giving solitons their effective mass
Dark energy = the gentle outward push caused by the field’s overall rotation
Entropy = friction in that rotation, giving time its arrow
The Cosmic Microwave Background = the universal “sustain pedal” keeping the field’s vibrations in phase
In this vision, dark matter isn’t missing matter. It is the gravitational echo of the scalar field itself.
All the evidence begins to paint a remarkable picture:
A slowly rotating Gödel-like universe, built on Einstein–Cartan gravity, composed of a single twisting scalar field - a cosmos that is both turning on the largest scales and twisting at the smallest ones.
If LIGO’s newest data shows even the faintest sign of:
an extra polarisation
a twist
a universal spin preference
or a correlation with galaxy rotation directions
- then every part of this structure snaps into place.
Exploring antiparticles further: perhaps they don’t just maintain balance - they might regulate the flow of time itself. In a rotational and torsion universe, as Gödel proposed, altering antiparticle dynamics could, in theory, allow for backward time travel, as Dr Igor Novikov discussed. They may be the key to unlocking a timeline’s directionality.
If these connections hold, gravity manipulation might be possible, achieved by amplifying electromagnetic fields into resonance, syncing local torsion with the Universe’s spin.
In this framework, Time is a neutral observer: the Past and Future are fixed, but the Present - our free will - is the point where choices echo into fate.
Time is, in this sense, the “God” of the Universe: ever-present, ever-aware, but never interfering - just watching, as we decide which thread to follow. Stay tuned - the universe may be about to unveil its most beautiful plot twist yet. It may not simply be expanding into the void. It may be turning - and twisting - at every scale of reality, taking us with it.
And déjà vu? That might just be two timelines brushing against each other in the torsion field.
The data is being analysed right now.
