Scientific paper

The results of a study of the position angles and polarization of high luminosity classical-double radio sources are discussed, taking into account a sample of 94 radio sources. There appears to be strong evidence that the universe is anisotropic on a large scale, producing position angle offsets in the polarization and brightness distributions of radio souces. These can probably be explained on the basis of a rotation of the universe with an angular velocity of approximately 10 to the -13th rad/yr. Such a rotation would have drastic cosmological consequences, since it would violate Mach's principle and the widely held assumption of large-scale isotropy.
