This point has probably been made already but I've got 5 minutes so:
If the whole universe is rotating how fast are those distant galaxies moving? Let's see ... a galaxy 13 billion light years away would describe a circle 6 x 10^13 km in one day. I think that works out to 6.944 x 10^8 km per second. Bearing in mind they're on a circular path so this involves acceleration, large g forces. The universe as a giant fucking centrifuge. Them aliens must sure be dizzy.
