Looking for a specific unusual solution to Einstein's field equations

Galteeth · Sep 1, 2009

Hi, I don't remember how this came up, but I stumbled across a "wrong" solution to Einstein's field equations that involved a spinning universe and being able to see one's future. Does anyone know what I am thinking of?

The Godel metric it was. Thanks.
