Abstract

The homogeneous, anisotropic cosmological model is considered. It satisfies three physically reasonable conditions: it is space homogeneous, possesses flat space like sections and is filled with expanding, rotating and shearing matter. The asymptotic solution is presented and general properties are discussed. The question how the rotation influences the behaviour of matter near the singularity is investigated.
