I object to the glib use of the phrase “time reversal” in this article. Time is a sequential history of events and is not reversible. What the researchers are accomplishing is a clever resequencing of events, roughly analogous to playing a strip of movie film backwards, an event that I’m sure you will agree occurs in quite normal time.
