Modern cosmological models predict a close correlation between the angular momentum orientation of galaxies relative to the large-scale structure of the Universe. In the landmark 2004 paper, based on a sample of 30 galaxies, it was shown that the direction of the rotation axes of edge-on galaxies is predominantly in the plane of the Local Supercluster, supporting the theory of galaxy angular momentum formation by tidal forces. In the last two decades, the sample of known Local Supercluster galaxies has increased 7–8 times, giving us hope to estimate the correlation more accurately. We test the orientation of edge-on galaxies with respect to the Local Supercluster plane as a function of their redshift, position, luminosity, and color. We did not find a statistically significant correlation in any of the subsamples we examined. Most likely, the correlation found in the pioneering paper is due to the extremely small statistics.
