Last time I checked, universe does not rotate at all, its total angular momentum is zero.
Is there a name for the type of momentum that leads to the expansion of the universe? Or is that just the total thermal energy that will become entropy at some point?
“Dark energy” or “cosmological constant” is what “pushes” the universe to expand. Not angular momentum, which is, according to our understanding is zero. By the way, it is the space itself that expands. There is no any “expansion force” that acts on stars.
