Solutions of the Einstein Field Equations of Uniform Density

In this paper, we study hypersphere (sectional curvature, K, = constant > 0), pseudosphere (K < 0) and flat (K = 0) solutions of the Einstein Field Equations corresponding to uniform density and pressure. We, incidentally, confirm that Mach's Principle obtains in General Relativity, i.e., the rotation of space (causing centrifugal, Coriolis and Euler forces) is intimately bound with the rotation of matter. Gödel thought that he had found a rotating solution of the Einstein Field Equations, but his solution may be summarily dismissed because it is nonphysical, containing two time-like coordinates, t and φ (and he
