The Russian scientist Dr Nikolai Kozyrev is in many ways a forerunner -- the father of today's efforts to re-interpret physics in a way that does not contradict intuitive understanding. Our efforts to reconcile the inherent contradictions of the standard model of physics, firmly based as it is on Einstein's relativity and Quantum Mechanics, have brought less than satisfying results.

Kozyrev has measured spin or torsion field effects at a time when Western science was busy smashing atoms into ever smaller fractions. He investigated time and the aether before most of us in the West ever thought of questioning the workability of our modern interpretations of the universe.
