Time-reversed Laser

Has science taken a wrong turn? If so, what corrections are needed? Chronicles of scientific misbehavior. The role of heretic-pioneers and forbidden questions in the sciences. Is peer review working? The perverse "consensus of leading scientists." Good public relations versus good science.

Time-reversed Laser

I thought this development neat, and fits in with one of my views that our physical reality is to a great degree the result of wave-wave interactions, either constructive or destructive depending on their phase relationships.
Rather than emitting light, a time-reversed laser absorbs it. Perfectly.
