Description

In some recent papers it has been stated that the Goedel space-time may be generalized to the non-stationary case, simply by allowing the scale-factor to be a function of cosmic time. We here show (for rather general energy-momentum tensors) that this metric allows no solution of Einstein's gravitational field equations. 9 refs. (author)
