Kozyrev Mirrors

Kozyrev Mirrors are curved aluminum sheets forming spiral enclosures, named after Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kozyrev who researched time and torsion fields. Subjects inside report altered states, enhanced ESP, time perception changes, and collective consciousness experiences.
Russian Research and Claims
Russian researchers including Alexander Trofimov conducted experiments claiming enhanced remote viewing, telepathy, and even time-reversed information access. The mirrors allegedly focus 'torsion radiation' from Earth's rotation and cosmic sources, creating localized spacetime anomalies. Experimental designs involved subjects sitting within spiral aluminum enclosures while researchers measured claimed psi enhancements, altered consciousness states, and anomalous information reception.
Torsion Field Theory
Kozyrev's torsion field theory proposes that rotating bodies generate spiral energy fields distinct from electromagnetic or gravitational fields. These hypothetical torsion fields allegedly interact with consciousness and biological systems, enabling non-local information transfer and time perception alterations. The aluminum spiral configuration purportedly concentrates or focuses torsion radiation, creating environmental conditions affecting human consciousness and psi abilities.
Critical Assessment
Mainstream physics finds no mechanism for proposed effects. Reported experiences more likely involve sensory deprivation (similar to isolation tanks), electromagnetic shielding effects on brain function, or expectation-driven altered states. Mirrors demonstrate powerful placebo/setting effects but not exotic physics. The spiral aluminum enclosure creates a unique sensory environment combining visual confinement, acoustic dampening, and potential electromagnetic shielding effects that could contribute to altered consciousness states through conventional mechanisms rather than exotic field focusing.
