Bizarre Alignment of Black Holes

No.

Try reading the article. Reading is educational.

In essence, the only likely reason why multiple SMBHs could be spinning in the same direction over a large volume of space is if they were the result of primordial mass fluctuations in the early universe.

As Prof. Andrew Russ Taylor – the joint UWC/UCT SKA Chair, Director of the recently-launched Inter-University Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy, and principal author of the Monthly Notices study – explained: “Since these black holes don’t know about each other, or have any way of exchanging information or influencing each other directly over such vast scales, this spin alignment must have occurred during the formation of the galaxies in the early universe.”
 
Some thought the very distant cold spots might be these things called Textures.

Imagine a cosmic string--which only has length (for the most part) and very little thickness.
It becomes a domain wall if wide.

In 3D--it is a Texture.

Assuming they exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_(cosmology)

I wonder what that would look like--and if one could land on it.
 
If the Wikipedia article is correct, these textures would be instable. That makes landing on them not exactly a good idea.
 
Probably. I'd like to see an artists conception. If the black holes have their axis of rotation similar to the galactic plane--then you are just dealing with angular momentum. If these black holes have a charge--over time they may synch up with our galactic core black holes.

The galaxy is rather like a hurricane--so maybe smaller black holes can be thought of as shear line spiral band tornadoes or mini-swirls you have within the eyewall. Fujita and Pearson may have more insight than Hawking or Thorne in this matter.
