Kosirev spent many years there. He had some special contacts with Siberian shamans in the Gulag, but he never talked much about it.
"Eventually, after his return from the concentration camp, his main scientific interest became the theory of time. He devised brilliant experiments that enabled him to develop a complex theory of time, proving that time has a substantial nature. It has its own solidity, which changes according to the globe. Consequently time is more or less solidat different points on earth. Of course, it is completely impossible for us to detect this with our normal human abilities of perception, but his sophisticated apparatus was actually able to measure the differences. This prooved his mathematical theories about how the substance of time could actually be changed.
You have undoubtedly noticed this large and, I am afraid, rather peculiar looking apparatus in the center of the room. It is a tube made from a special combination of polished metals that act like a mirror. We have learned that this is one of the ways we can alter an individuals perception of tim. In a way we do not yet fully understand, the mirrors work to transform time and space for the person inside. Does this make sense to you?
