The actual paper makes more sense: "the number of galaxies in that field that rotate in the opposite direction relative to the Milky Way galaxy is ∼50 per cent higher than the number of galaxies that rotate in the same direction relative to the Milky Way."
- floatrock 1y agoSo 1/3 MilkyWay-Wise, 2/3 Counter-MWW? Or is it? I hate these percent-relative word games things... - Let x = "num MWW" - then "num CMWW" = 1.5x ("50% higher than x") - x + 1.5x = 1 - x = 0.4 So 40% is MWW, 60% CMMW?
- wruza 1y agoCorrect, I guess. 40/100 x 1.5 = 60/100. For 1/3 and 2/3 it must have been 100% higher.
