Story summary

A team from Bielefeld University reports the Solar System moves more than three times faster than current models predict, based on radio-galaxy analysis.
The analysis shows a dipole in radio-galaxy distribution 3.7 times stronger than expected.
The findings, published in Physical Review Letters, challenge standard cosmology, which assumes a uniform distribution of matter.
Dominik J. Schwarz (Bielefeld University) says the results could reveal flaws in the universe's large-scale structure.
