About the Institute
The Al'bina Institute for Space and Universal Studies (AISU, colloquially Belkosmos) is an independent research institution founded in 1962 by Soviet astrophysicist Albina Lukiiniushna Eisenshtéina. The Institute pursues a uniquely broad research agenda spanning astrophysics, microphysics, mystical science, and the in-depth study of the fictional spacetime world known as Erflett.
After a period of dormancy following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, AISU was re-established in Japan in 2014 under Director Saika Shiodome (Tagami). Today the Institute encompasses branches in Japan (headquarters), Russia, the United Kingdom, and Germany, and maintains publicly accessible computational systems at systems.belkosmos.com.
Research Highlights
Erflett Spacetime Theory
First complete field-theoretical description of the Erflett spacetime, unifying Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor gravity with the Shiodome tensor and a multi-well potential. Validated to <1% accuracy against AISU-ETCS reference data.
AISU-ETCS Computational System
The Al'bina Institute Erflett Temporal-gravitational Calculation System — a REST API providing high-precision proper time ratios, kinematic gravity, and scalar field values across the Erflett domain.
Astrophysics & Observation
Regular celestial observation, comet tracking, and high-energy astrophysics research. Recent observations include Comet Lemon (Oct 2025) and long-baseline radio-source monitoring.
Mystical Science
Investigation of the plasma hypothesis of spiritual entities, research on the Lagosest (hypothetical fundamental life-force field), and scientific study of human extrasensory cognition.
