Abstract

The metric for the standard static Einstein model of the universe can be expressed in coordinates for which a congruence of spacelike world lines of the model will be twisting. A method of “shifting the twist” has been devised by which the twist on spacelike world lines is shifted onto the timelike world lines. The model universe then becomes Godel's model. A combined Einstein-Godel model containing a parametere is obtained. Switchinge from +1 to −1 will effect the shift of twist in the world lines and lead from the Einstein model to the Godel model.
