N.S. Kardashev and A. Sakharov presented a speculative paper on charged mass behavior in space.
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.
The paper speculated on the behavior of a charged mass collapsing in space.
The Kardnshev-Sakharov paper concerned the authors' study of vhat hnppene when a charged mass or bod,v collapses in space.
If a mass is charged, it would collapse but bounce back out into a different part of space-time.
They 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.
Andrei Sakharov was interested in the charged mass phenomenon because it indicates a more complicated structure of space.
Kardashev told a US attendee that Sakharov vo.s mo~tly interested in this charced mass phenomenon study beca us e it in d.i.catcs that the structure of space may be much more complicated than i s preaently thought.
The US attendee believed the paper was grounded in good and sound physics despite its speculative nature.
The US attendee f elt the authors • 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.
