Abstract
A uniform cosmological model filled with fluid which possesses pressure and second viscosity is developed. The Einstein equations can be integrated exactly. One solution is the steady-state cosmology, but this is unstable. Other solutions start from the steady-state one in the infinite past but expand more and more slowly as viscosity dies out. At any finite proper time in the past the curvature is finite. Some comments on possible origins of this viscosity are given.
