This CIA intelligence information report, distributed 10 April 1972, summarizes a highly speculative theoretical-physics paper that N. Kardashev (Institute for Space Research, Moscow) and the physicist Andrei D. Sakharov presented at the Conference on the Origins of Life in Yerevan, Armenia, 6 to 8 September 1971.
Key excerpts
“The Soviets speculated on what would happen if the mass were charged. They stated that then the mass would be able to bounce. It would collapse but bounce back out. However, the mass will come back into a different part of space time. (p. 1)”
