Abstract

It is shown that there do not exist spherically-symmetric conformaly-flat static solutions, in the self-creation cosmology proposed by Barber, representing disordered radiation and in the presence of source-free electromagnetic field except for the trivial empty flat space-time of Einstein's theory. The solution in the vacuum case is also only a flat space time of Einstein's theory.
