At the Conference on the Origins of Lite in Yerevo.n, Armenia, $SR,
6-8 Septemher 1971, NS ~.ardashev, Ins titute for Sp~c~ Research, Moscov,
r e ad an interesting but highly Dpeculative paper he had prepared on
r.enera.l relativity and the possibility of a bod;f collap3inc into a
black hole in apace. His co-author vas tbe internationally f81110us
theoretica.l. physicist, Andrei D Su.harov. Y..o.rda.ohev iD very much like
hi s superior and former teacher at the Institute, IS Shklovskiy, in
his cq>proaeh to acientific problems. Ile is not at'raid to speculate in
his effort to find a solution,
The Kardnshev-Sakharov paper concerned the authors' study of vhat hnppene
when a charged mass or bod,v collapses in space. Knrdn.:.hcv stnteci that,
if it \·~re not cha.ri;ed, the mass would Just collnpse pas t the point of
~ravitational singularity and be gone forever. In other words, the mass
vould close in on itself and have no more contact with t he outside

world. 'l'he Soviets speculated on what vould happen 1 f the mass were
charged. '!'hey stated that t hen the mnse vould be o.ble to boW1ce. It
would collapse but boW1ce back out. Hovcver, the mass will come back
into n different part of space time.
3. After his presentation, Kardashev told a US attendee that Sakharov vo.s
mo~tly interested in this charced mass phenomenon study becaus e it in
d.i.catcs that the structure of space may be much more complicated than
i s preaently thought. Kardashev vas interested i n the s t udy from t he
vi evpoint or what implications it has for o.strophysi c~ , provided the
basic pnysics of the phenomenon 1s correct, 'l'he US attendee f elt the
a uthors • speculation vas a little fantastic and they had tllkcn off in
Ii rather vild vo.y. lfovcver, he believed their paper vas grounded in
e ood and sound physica, . I
