Scientific paper

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 Goedel's model. A combined Einstein-Goedel model containing a parameter epsilon is obtained. Switching epsilon from +1 to -1 will effect the shift of twist in the world lines and lead from the Einstein model to the Goedel model.
