About this episode

The episode discusses Nikolay Kozyrev's unconventional ideas about time and his experiments with Kozyrev mirrors.

As a promising young astrophysicist, during the Stalinist purges of the Soviet Union , Nikolay Kozyrev was sent to the Russian Gulag in the Arctic, where he reportedly developed his unconventional ideas about time. Ten years later, he was released, returned to science, and achieved his most significant work. Kozyrev proposed a theory he called “torsion field theory”, which postulated that time is an active physical substance with measurable properties that can vary, including density and flow rate. He said that time interacts directly with consciousness, sending energy and information, and he believed that curved reflective forms could focus or reflect this temporal energy. This led to the construction of a physical device consisting of polished aluminum sheets arranged in a cylindrical, spiral, or parabolic curve, large enough to enclose a seated human subject so a person can sit inside the structure. The organic geometry was chosen to reflect the torsion fields of a person’s light body. One or more subjects would sit inside these Kozyrev mirrors, isolated from external stimuli, and asked to simply observe their inner experience. The subjects reported altered states of…
