| Abstract: | It is shown that a portion of de Sitter space can be expressed in the formds2=dt2–A2(t)dr2–B2(t)(d 2+sin2d 2). It follows that it is a Kantowski-Sachs spacetime, according to the usual definition. This disproves the statement sometimes seen in the literature that all Kantowski-Sachs spacetimes are anisotropic. |
