Milky Way's Rotation --It's Effect on Our Local Space Time

"The spin of our galaxy has a twisting effect on our local space that is a million times stronger than that caused by the spin of the Earth." --Dr Mark Hadley, of the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick

In 2011, A University of Warwick physicist produced a galaxy sized solution which explains one of the outstanding puzzles of particle physics, while leaving the door open to the related conundrum of why different amounts of matter and antimatter seem to have survived the birth of our Universe.

Physicists would like a neat universe where the laws of physics are so universal that every particle and its antiparticle behave in the same way. However in recent years experimental observations of particles known as Kaons and B Mesons have revealed significant differences in how their matter and anti matter versions decay.
