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