Time reversal, "Time" and "time"...
Researchers at the University of Maryland have discovered how to transmit power, sound or images to a "nonlinear object" without knowing the object's exact location or affecting objects around it using a "time-reversal" technique. [1] The time-reversal process is like playing a record backwards. When a signal travels through the air, its waveforms scatter before…

New measurements of the Polar Star have revealed that the distance of the star from Earth is 323 light years, instead of 434 light years which was the last measurement known. [1] Astronomy is the only science where measurements can change so drastically without anyone saying anything. What would your professor tell you if you…
