This sort of time flip has been described as looking into a mirror and spotting your back instead of your face…By carefully adjusting electronic components on a strip of metal, they introduced a sudden jump that reversed the direction of incoming signals…The outcome was a time-reversed copy of the original wave, appearing just as predicted but never before seen with clarity…A wave that can jump to a new frequency and then rewind might open new possibilities for data transmission at different ranges of the spectrum. It could also reshape how certain sensors and imaging systems are designed.
