Abstract:
Gödel’s rotating-universe solution of Einstein’s gravitational field
equations is interpreted in real projective space. The compass of inertia
is shown to coincide with the involuted geodesic of the closed manifold
and predicts a cosmological redshift for distant events. Other
cosmological criteria of antimatter imbalance, the microwave background
and nucleogenesis are satisfied in a natural way. The role of
black holes in steady-state circulation, universal self-similar symmetry
and the need to reinterpret astronomical data in hyperspace are
discussed.
