Do galaxies have a preferred orientation? This article: http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2011/jul/25/was-the-universe-born-spinning asserts that the universe was "born spinning" and that there is a preferred rotation direction for galaxies in the universe.  My question is whether there is a preferred galaxy orientation in the universe, that is, whether there is a preferred plane for the galaxy disk?
There is no evidence for that. That's either a systematic observation error, or a random result within usual statistical fluctuations, compare this Q&amp;A site.
