That wold make sense too. If many of the effects we see and attribute to "The Laws of Physics" are caused by some sort of particle (like gravity and gravitons) then maybe this is just the break down of those specific particles over time, and that there is something along the axis that is accelerating it?
Wouldn't it be a hoot if the StarTrek chronoton particles had a real-world counterpart?

I don't know if it will help, beppe, but in these matters I prefer to think of the universe as 13.7 billion years young!

To echo Feynman, if correct, this sounds like another "gay and wonderful discovery".

Maybe the variation in other galaxies is the work of an alien civilisation - the 'preferred axis' may just be their cosmic foot track.

Because I was thinking different civs would probably leave different footprints.
It seemed a bit of a coincidence to have more than one producing identical effects.

But I might be wrong - there might be several civilisations doing it.

Birds do it
Bees do it
Even alien civs do it
Let's do it, lets create a systematic variation along a particular spacial axis.

Doesn't the Kama Sutra cover "a systematic variation along a particular spacial axis"?

Oh, wait. Maybe I am thinking of G-string theory.
