US citizen This report consists
of edited abstracts from a letter received from a reliable colicacu
who attended the Yerevan Conference.

At the Conference on the Origins of Life in Yerevan, Armenia, SSR,

6-8 September 1971, N S Kardashev, Institute for Space Research, Moscov,
read an interesting but highly speculative paper he had prepared on
peneral relativity and the possibility of a body collapsing into a
black hole in space. His co-author was the internationally famous
theoretical physicist, Andrei D Sakharov. Kardashev is very much like
his suverior and former teacher at the Institute, I S Shklovskiy, in

his approach to scientific problems. Ile is not afraid to speculate in
his effort to find a solution.

The Kardashev~Sakharov paper concerned the authors' study of what happens
when a charged mass or body collapses in space. Kardashev stated that,
if it vere not charged, the mass would just collapse past the point of
gravitational singularity and be gone forever. In other words, the mass
would close in on itself and have no more contact with the outside

world. 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.

After his presentation, Kardashev told a US attendee that Sakharov was
mostly interested in this charged mass phenomenon study because it in-
dicates that the structure of space may be much more complicated than
is presently thought. Kardashev was interested in the study from the
viewpoint of what implications it has for astrophysics, provided the
basic physics of the phenomenon is correct. The US attendee felt the
authors’ speculation was a little fantastic and they had taken off in
a rother wild way. However, he believed their paper was grounded in
good and sound physics.
