I just read this and it suggests that the Universe is not rotating, as a whole.  Observations, apparently, indicate less than even one degree of rotation since the beginning. It, now, seems reasonable to me that the sum of angular momentum in the universe would be small or zero  if it is assumed that it started with a very small or zero diameter. Its moment of inertia would have been extremely small so it would have to have been rotating at an incredible rate if there were to any angular momentum to observe now, with its existing diameter.  Perhaps that is too classical an argument to apply to something like the Universe.

I too have just read this and I have long held this view that the æther must be replaced by the sea of quantum particles

It has been conjectured that our entire universe is a black hole.
