Abstract

Anisotropic cosmological spacetimes are constructed from spherically symmetric solutions to Einstein's equations coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics and a positive cosmological constant. This is accomplished by finding solutions in which the roles of and are interchanged for all (i.e. becomes timelike and becomes spacelike). Constant time hypersurfaces have topology and in all the spacetimes considered the radius of the two sphere vanishes as goes to zero. The scale factor of the other dimension diverges as goes to zero in some solutions and vanishes (or goes to a constant) in other solutions. At late times local observers would see the universe to be homogeneous and isotropic.
