The rotating universe.
Abstract
A closed universe obeying the Hubble equation v = Hu·r, where Hu is the Hubble constant, is considered. It is shown that such a universe is equivalent to a universe rotating around one of its diameters at an angular velocity Ωu = Hu. If one revives Blackett's conjecture, viz., a rotating body creates at its center a magnetic dipole, one computes the value of the magnetic field as B ≅ 2.5×10-5G. Intergalactic magnetic fields of the order of 10-6G were deduced from observations.
