Yes, this was, in part, Goedel's search for life after death (if you read the biographies of him) and we have no evidence of a rotating spacetime-at least not in the way that GR describes this,. However, there are things like isospins of particles that may indicate a partially closed loop with spacetime (if I understand the ARVIX papers-and I don't) that may indicate an identical effect with a different cause than Goedel's explanation. Physicist Todd Bruning at Princeon, has goofed around with an attempt at closed loop quantum message sendings and receivings, but surely not for Goedel's secret passion. It still is interesting though. Another magic tech would be Tipler Cylanders, or Van Stockum cylanders, which kind of imitate the effects of ultrafast spining round a blackhole, picking one's own timelike curve to 'fix things.'
To be sure, an attempt to construct a tipler cylander was not in the 2016 budget, for some, odd, reason? It takes all kinds I suppose?

In 1949 Godel found a solution in General Relativity that allowed closed time-like loops (aka time machines) but it only works if the universe is spinning and recent experimental evidence says it's not. Good thing too because causal loop s are paradox generators. > Third, there's a lot of information in the sense you use it, that was not there at the big bang - so where did it come from? I don't know but I do know that a high entropy object contains more information than a low entropy object, so if the universe started out low entropy and if it's overwhelmingly likely that entropy will increase with time then it's overwhelmingly likely that information will too.
