The point of Gödel is that some solution of Einstein GR theory can admit circular time. Gödel was skeptical about time, but also on the whole of naturalism. Eventually Einstein understood why we can choose mathematics when interested in fundamental question. Gödel is the one who showed that the computation are realised in arithmetic, and makes the point clearly in a footnote, but he missed the Church-Turing thesis, and mechanism. Well Gödel did 99,9%. But Post, Turing and Church got the universal “thing”. Gödel does not seem to have been really interested in cosmology, but he did have some interest in theology, as explained in the books by Hao Wang. Yet, neither its “Gödel ‘sRotating Universe”, nor his proof of the existence of (St-Anselmus’) god, were taken seriously by him. It was just models (solutions) of theories/equations to illustrate philosophical/metaphysical points: notably here the disparition of time, and the fact that theology can be done rigorously. An interesting book on Gödel and Einstein on Time is “A World Without Time, the ForgottenLegacy of Gödel and Einstein”, by Palle Yourgrau (Allan Lane-Penguin 2005, London). Apparently Einstein was forbidden to even think about quantum mechanics !). And Einstein seems to have forbid to itself to search for a relation between incompleteness and the quantum, but with mechanism this comes as a gift on the plate of the relative self-reference.
