- Description
- Gödel-type spacetimes in Hehl's nonpropagating torsion theory are reconsidered by supposing that the curvature source is a Weyssenhoff-Raabe fluid and an electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field implies spacetime homogeneity and admits a dual interpretation. From the trajectories of test particles, it is shown that there is a class of such spacetimes for which charged particles can reach regions inaccessible to neutral particles or even photons.
