Creating a mirror image wave with a jolt


A time-reversed wave is a mirror image of a wave that travels the exact opposite path of the wave that it is a reflection of, back to the first wave's point of origin. Creating these time-reversed waves has required unique antennas but now a group of researchers has done so simply by physically jolting the water container.
