discovery that he had achieved.
He spoke about the past, the present, and the future, which
are innately present in an organism on a physiological level.
From his tirade, peppered with terms from various
branches of science, it was understood that each organism
at birth in some way is programmed with its expiration
date, that is, a reserve of biological time. And it is precisely
with this reserve that the professor learned to work –
decreasing its size (so the organism ages more rapidly,
shortens its distance to death) or increasing its size (so the
body grows younger, making it further away from death).
Despite all this, consciousness remains unharmed – if you
don’t take into account the specific stress from various
temporal changes – and it also manages to reflect life

“From now on a person is no longer a slave, but a full-
fledged master of his time. And not just his own…,”
Coifman ended on an intriguing note for everyone.
Further on, the spectacle became etched in the memory of
