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 co llnpse 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.

After his presentation, Kardashev told a US attendee that Sakharov vo.s
motly interested in this charced mass phenomenon study becaus e i t 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,
