Which also implies the universe, or our section of it, is rotating. Which raises the question: where did that angular momentum come from?

Non-expert here, but I think any imperfect mass distribution with any attractive force would lead to a rotation. Which would mean, essentially, as soon as any imbalance happened in the early universe, some rotation was inevitable.

The same place the rest of the universe came from. A slight imbalance in the Matter-Antimatter distribution in the early universe
