Since there exist no nonflat singularity free static solutions of the empty-space Einstein equations the name geometrostatics is given to the study of the time-symmetric (instantaneously static) initial value problem. Using the method of spherical inversion images from electrostatics, the initial values for a time-symmetric solution of the empty space Einstein equations having the topology of an arbitrary number of Einstein--Rosen bridges are constructed. The initial data are analytic and asymptotically flat with positive apparent mass. (auth)
